Quote:Scan's out-going e-mail? I can understand why it would scan in-coming e-mail, but if it's doing it's job then your computer is clean and won't be SENDING viruses. And why would it care if someone else got infected. It's job is protecting YOUR computer not theirs. In other words, stop scanning out-going e-mail entirely. Just scan the in-coming stuff.
Do you know anything about virii? Scanning outgoing mail is a safeguard against self-perpetuating virii that send themselves to everyone in your address book. In theory, they should be caught as they are inbound, but nothing is foolproof. It's called redundancy. And, I don't know about you, but I don't want to be the dick that sent a virus to everyone I send e-mail to.
