Just an idea... It could very well be an update to NIS that's causing the
problems. I have no idea, I don't use Symantec products unless I have to,
but somewhere you might have an option to disable automatic email scanning.
If you have real-time virus protection enabled already then enabling email
virus scanning not only does no additional good but it also causes more
problems than it's worth. I'd root about inside your application, find any
mail options, and disable them and see if the problem continues. Keep in
mind that you will still have real time protection enabled on the OS itself
with your NIS if you only disable the automatic email functionality so you
are still as safe as you'd be with it turned on. Follow, of course, the
basic rules of not opening strange attachments but your regular protection
should easily prevent that from happening if it's a problematic attachment.
