Description
Enable email scanning and Worm Blocking, and define how Norton AntiVirus should behave while scanning email messages. Scanning incoming email messages protects your computer against viruses sent by others.

You can choose to scan incoming or outgoing email messages, or both, and to display an icon or progress indicator while scanning. You can set options to automatically repair, quarantine, or delete infected email messages with or without interaction with you.
Advanced options determine what to do when scanning email messages.
Instant Messenger Determine what instant messengers to support, how to configure a new instant messenger, and what happens if a virus is found during an instant messenger session.
