When you installed NIS 2007, did you accept the option to make NIS the
default Security Center, overriding the Windows Security Center? If so,
then yes, contact Symantec...and cite this when you do so:

Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.

I have disabled email scanning and this does solve the problem. However
Norton is now unhappy and flags my anti-virus state as "requiring
attention". It would seem then that there is a conflict between the April
2007 Windows Updates and Norton Internet Security? Presumeably I should
now
go to Symantec to report this problem?

Not certain then if you have already tried taking the updates off with
no
solution. I have just tried removing Norton completely, which I needed
to

anyway. Without Norton there is no problem but, once I put Norton back,
the
problem is there again.
Does this help in the diagnosis?

Is it certain the Windows Update caused it?
I uninstalled the last 4 updates and still have this problem also.
Re-configuring Nortons will probably not change anything, the actual
cause is more mysterious.
Just a couple of weeks ago a Windows update caused an error with
Realtek
sound software,
Microsoft gave a fix for it.

Troubleshooting error messages that you receive when you are using OL

2. If no joy, your current Identity may be damaged, especially if its
the
default Main Identity. Leaving Email Protection disabled, try one or
more
of your mail accounts in a new Named Identity (File Identities Add
new
identity). Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old
identity, (2) import messages from the old identity into the new one,
and
then (3) delete the old one (File Identities Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to
local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [not available in SP2] and frequently
perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline".

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.

Any help greatly appreciated
