About Other options
Internet options define what happens when your
computer is connected to the Internet. You use Internet
options to define how Norton AntiVirus should scan
email and instant messenger attachments, enable Worm
Blocking, and determine how updates should be applied
with LiveUpdate.
The Internet options you can set are as follows.
Description
Enable email scanning and Worm Blocking, and define
how Norton AntiVirus should behave while scanning
email messages. Scanning incoming email messages
protects your computer against viruses sent by others.
Scanning outgoing email messages prevents you from
inadvertently transmitting viruses or worms to others.
You can choose to scan incoming or outgoing email
messages, or both, and to display an icon or progress
indicator while scanning. You can set options to
automatically repair, quarantine, or delete infected
email messages with or without interaction with you.
Advanced options determine what to do when scanning
email messages.
Determine what instant messengers to support, how to
configure a new instant messenger, and what happens if
a virus is found during an instant messenger session.
Enable Automatic LiveUpdate and define how updates
should be applied. Automatic LiveUpdate checks for
updated virus definitions automatically when you are
connected to the Internet.
Other options include Inoculation settings for Windows
98/98SE/Me and Miscellaneous settings. You can enable
Inoculation, cause an alert if a system file changes, set a
variety of miscellaneous options, and customize behavior
for the Norton Protected Recycle Bin.
