Yep. I can confirm this. Norton & its Liveupdate are great. That's what I
use. I've disabled the option that scans incoming attachments for virus,
though, as it was getting on my nerves (it pops up a blue screen, which is
kinda scary as for a moment you think its _another_ blue screen!) and even
crashed my PC last time I had it on. And since Eudora doesn't open files
anyway, I just have it set so that Norton will check the folder where all
attachments go at a set time everyday. And if I need to open one that I was
expecting before that set time, I just run Norton on that specific file
before opening it. Works just fine :-)
