I am assuming NCE include Norton Anti-Virus.. On the
Norton Utilities
Systemworks AV is installed to automatically scan your email for virii...
But the way it does it is *very* questionable.. The email is routed to one
of their servers before being routed to you inbox.
I only happened to find this out *after* everything was installed because I
also use Zone Alarm. I then found out that the install had modified
Outlook.
Nowhere in the install was I told that this was
happening!!!
Network Associates' Groupshield Exchange and Computer Associates'
eTrust InoculateIT! Exchange Option scan the mail as it comes in
to the server and what gets put in the inbox has been sanitized...
except, apparantly, the BADTRANS virus. Fortunately, the client-
side realtime scanner caught it...
