NAV's Email Protection is one possible culprit, yes.

So is it the Norton AV that causes this problem?

1. Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection, it may be causing the problem, and even Symantec
says it's not necessary:

Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
that are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect
scans incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email
and email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of
this. To make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection,
keep Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you
have the most recent virus definitions.

Here's the situation.

I am trying to figure out why a relatively new PC insists on sending up to
seventeen copies of a replied to or forwarded email message. The first
time
I looked at this for my neighbor, the beast behaved itself perfectly after
I
downloaded and installed all updates and did a complete sweep for spyware.

Now the multiple email gremlin has reappeared.

And I haven't got the slightest idea how to fix it.

Any suggestions?
