Re: Hourglass flashes every couple of minutes

Hi,

Actually this feature will only work with Windows Messenger (which is what msmsgs is), it's
not protecting MSN Messenger. Either way, all it does is scan files once they've been
received. This is rather pointless as after you receive a file you typically view it
immediately anyway, and Norton will scan it then, regardless if this "feature" is on or not.
