   I don't have NAV scan all files (just the runnable ones). When a virus
comes down via an e-mail attachment, Norton tells me it's there, and then
it tells me it's deleted, cause it can't repair it. It does this before
anything can get a chance to run the file. NAV knows which Klez you got,
it's the repair option that's buggy. They might have fixed that by now.

   As for an e-mail client, tough it out with Eudora. I've been using it
since '96..
