Why do people keep saying this? Norton has caught enough viruses in

Did you /read/ my entire reply?...

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

paste
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.

You'd only be at risk if you were foolish enough to open the spam messages
or their attachments. If you did so, NAV's realtime protection would have
alerted you that you were doing something risky.
