Vista - Windows Mail Executable Stays Loaded When Program Is Closed

The executable stays loaded as a process. That process has to be manually
dumped before the program can be restarted. Is there a fix for this problem?

Thanks.

This problem can be caused by a non-compatible antivirus program.
Which antivirus are you running?

I'm using Trend Micro PC-cillin 2008.

Trend Micro PC-cillin, as well as antivirus programs from Norton and
McAfee, have repeatedly caused problems for Windows Mail users.
As a test, uninstall your antivirus, reboot, then try Windows Mail again.
If this cures the problem, we can recommend a free antivirus program
that is more compatible.

Also check that you don't have any of the mail gadgets on the sidebar. They
will keep the process open, as well as some AV apps, apparently.

What AV program do you recommend? I do have an out-of-the-ordinary setup: I
use Outlook 2007 to retrieve my email while my wife was using OE, and now
Windows Mail. I may have to switch Outlook to another AV program. I cannot
find any settings in Trend to disable checking one account.

Of the free antivirus programs, Avast and AVG are most compatible.
AVG free edition:

Avast free edition:

With either of those, during the install phase you must select custom
install, and then deselect the email scanning option.

Of the paid ones, I like CA Antivirus, which I've used without any problem
for the past 13 months:

What antivirus suits you best basically depends on your own
preferences. I like NOD32, but many people prefer Kaspersky or
something else to it. This might sound silly to many people, but I do
honestly believe that each computer is different and has its own
personal "feel". Check out my reviews on http://avscan.blogspot.com
and decide for yourself. I've practically used all the major brands,
and have jotted down my experiences. Cheers.
