I run Outlook under Windows XP with Norton Anti-virus. I have tried everything I can think of, including marking the "junk" addresses as good, please deliver, do not send to junk, tried making new rules -- nothing works. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Drop it.
Get F-Prot and Spybot.
I have never had a problem with Kapersky....Norton was a POS.
JMO..
Your problem is Norton.
Look into Eset Security Suite.
I had nothing but trouble using Nortons with Outlook.
You can probably get “CA” free from you local internet provider if you happen to have Time Warner.
Norton anti-virus is a virus.
Norton anti-virus software is a virus.
Just say NO..
I hate norton
Getting to the point, Norton became so bloated and intrusive that it tied up much of the computer resources and so I started looking around and picked the free Comodo.
The darned thing is better than anything the paid stuff does and it takes up almost no resources and has better firewalls and anti virus.
Norton and MacAffee act like Uncle Joe Stalin and hijack your system.
I know that others here will recommend a few other free packages that are so much better than the bloated system hogs Norton and MacAffee have become.
Get rid of Norton. I use AVG free. FWIW.
Agree with the other posters 100%.
Uninstall Norton. Norton (Symantec) USED to make really good stuff. They used to be the premier software toolset that fixed problems with your computer, and prevented major problems from occuring.
They are now one of the most expensive and combative software companies on the planet. You can’t purchase more computer programs that Norton causes. They are a retail version of AIDS.
The problems they claim to fix, they don’t. The things that normally work well - don’t work anymore. Uninstall Norton and take the disk out to the garbage where it can do no further damage.
Oh, by the way - to completely uninstall Norton, you will have to go to their website, and download a program from Norton that will completely uninstall their software. Uninstalling it from the Control Panel does NOT install their program.
Amazing huh? A company that claims to be able to ‘fix’ your PC cannot manage to write an Uninstall routine that every other software company on the planet can do.
Trust me, you want to download the Norton Uninstall program from the internet. Even if you uninstall from the Control Panel and re-boot - there will be a plethora of files and registry settings that will still interfere with normal operations of your OS.
Dump Norton. It’s high priced crapware.
I had Norton years ago. I did not like it. I had a virus one time and yet they say I have nothing. Now I have CA 2010(from Time Warner also), and I loved it!
I use Microsoft Security Essentials. It’s free and protects you from rootkits, trojans, spyware, viruses, and it won’t consume all the resources of your computer like Norton.
I will add to the dump Norton for one of free programs.
Microsoft security essentials is good an free.
Add spybot, malware bytes, ariva etc...
Norton was nothing but trouble first an second time I tried it.
To much good freeware available to deal with false positives paid versions seem to spew.
Good luck...
I had Norton years ago when it was just a one time purchase price and then it went to crap the day they started charging yearly subscription fees, and even then they would screw up your credit card information and they would blame the customer for the screw up and never issued a refund. I had enough of that rodeo and haven’t looked back.
I have been using CA for years. The only problem I recall was the copywrite date wasn’t automatically updating. I finally called their customer support and I got it taken care of. (It was a rather strange problem.)
