Outlook 2003 locking up

[Christopher Nara]

I have reviewed a few postings in this discussion area where problems were
occurring because of a conflict between Outlook 2003 and the Norton Antivirus
suite. I am experiencing similar problems with Outlook 2003. The consensus
has been to uninstall Norton and re-install it with its email scanning
capability disabled. This would be fine in an environment that allows this,
but how do you get both to coexist in an environment that mandates virus
scanning of email? Is there a patch available that can accomplish this, or
are we forced to use earlier versions of Norton, or create vulnerabilities
until one surfaces? Any suggestions concerning this matter would be greatly
appreciated.

1. If you are using a real-time scanner, no vulnerabilities are there.
2. Ask Norton if they are going to release a version that does not conflict
with Outlook.
