Type the following command "%temp%". 3. This should automatically launch the Windows temporary directory. 4. Find a file called "Norton AntiSpam 2004(Date/Time).log."

Hotmail/MSN inbox scanning -------------------------------------------------------- Norton AntiSpam 2004 will scan new messages placed within the Hotmail/MSN mail inbox in Outlook XP/2003.

It is also compatible with most POP3-compatible email programs, including Netscape Messenger 4.X and Netscape Mail 6.0. Norton Antispam 2004 currently does not support Eudora 5.1 Japanese. Sending outgoing email can be slower within Outlook Express or Outlook under Windows 2000 -------------------------------------------------------- There is a known Microsoft issue with Windows 2000, Outlook Express and Outlook, (SMTP) email will send slower with Norton AntiSpam 2004 enabled. Microsoft has resolved this issue and a hot fix that can be downloaded from the following website: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q294/7/69.ASP Norton AntiSpam 2004 and NVIDIA nView Multi-display under Windows 98/98SE/ME -------------------------------------------------------- There is a known issue with Norton AntiSpam 2004 and older versions of the NVIDIA nView Multi-display software, that is included with NVIDIA brand video cards. This incompatibility causes main user interface of Norton AntiSpam 2004 to randomly crash on exit under Windows 98/98SE/ME. To resolve this issue under Windows ME, download the latest NVIDIA drivers for your video card from the following website: http://www.nvidia.com To resolve this issue under Windows 98SE, disable the NVIDIA nView Multi-display software. Supported Ports for Norton AntiSpam 2004 -------------------------------------------------------- Norton AntiSpam 2004 only supports email scanning on the default ports of 110 (POP3) & 25 (SMTP). Currently, we do not provide spam detection for any other ports. Incorrectly classified mail as it relates to user training of Norton AntiSpam 2004 -------------------------------------------------------- Symantec has provided a spam definition file that will classify spam and non-spam that is in English. For other languages, users may ôtrainö Norton AntiSpam 2004 using the mail that they send and receive. Training works to improve results in English and other languages that used Latin based character sets (e.g. French and German). For non-English languages, Norton AntiSpam 2004 must be trained by the user to learn the difference between spam and non-spam. áInitially, after Norton AntiSpam 2004 is first installed, Norton AntiSpam 2004 has very little data that it can use to define the difference between spam and non-spam on non-English languages. During this period, users may find a noticeable percentage of non-spam classified as spam and spam that is not properly classified as spam. áWith a little time and interaction from the user, Norton AntiSpam 2004 will learn the difference between spam and non-spam and non-English results will improve. Norton AntiSpam 2004 prompts the user during install to import their address book into the Norton AntiSpam 2004 Allowed List. This too will help Norton AntiSpam 2004 properly categorize spam and non-spam. It is highly recommended that users import their address book into the allowed list. Please consult the manual for more information about "training" Norton AntiSpam 2004 and importing address books into the allowed list. Note: Training does not work for Altaic (e.g. Japanese and Korean) and Sino-Tibetan (e.g. Chinese and Taiwanese) languages. ******************************************************** END OF FILE ********************************************************
