Outlook and OneCare

02-07-2008

Hello,
scan OneCare outgoing and incomming emails? (Outlook 2007)
If yes, how to disable the scanning of outgoing mails?

This is more a therorethical question. I have no problems with Outlook
2007, Vista and OneCare, but I want to know this.

OneCare does not scan emails inbound or outbound. It will, however, scan any
attachments you attempt to open and will (hopefully) leap into action if a
malicous script were attempting to execute when you opened a email.

Very true. :-)
A full scan (Tune-up or manual virus and spyware scan) will be scanning your
mail store, so any infected spam that is sitting in a Deleted Items folder or
Junk Mail folder on your PC will trigger an infection and a lovely "Quarantine
Failed" message.

Stephen, I'm not sure I follow you when you say that a scan- if it finds an
email in the Deleted folder which is infected- will trigger an infection? Do
you mean that OneCare will see it as an infection, then issue that warning?
Just want to be sure I understand you.

The full virus scan that runs during a Tune-up will scan the email store (a .pst
file for Outlook) and pretty much everything on the system. If, while scanning
the mail store, it finds an infected message or, more typically, an infected
attachment to a message, it will report "Quarantine Failed" as it cannot
automatically clean the infection from within the email store. It will make a
note of this and will block it if you attempted to execute the infection by
opening the message and/or executing the attachment.

Great, thanks again Stephen- by the way, I'm amazed that MS can get people
to do much of their first line tech support for free. Bill Gates could
probably break one of his spare change purses and greatly enrich all the MS
MVP folks. You deserve something for the time you put into this. I saw on
the OneCare forums that you've posted many thousands of messages. And if MS
won't compensate you, you at least have gotten a substantial number of good
karma points so you won't have to be reborn with a tiny brain like the one
that president Bush has. <G>

LOL!
Thanks, Joe.
My biggest compensation is the satisfaction of helping someone with a problem
they encountered.
Being honored as an MVP has a few perks, but can't be considered compensation
for support provided.
Take care,
-steve
