Running Symantec NAV/NIS 2006 on WinXP.
On a current long-term project that takes up nearly all my computing time,
virtually all my outbound mail is sent to myself at another address. The
attachments are large and inert. Scanning these as they leave takes a long time
and is, to me, useless.
It's well known that unchecking the Outbound Scan box makes no difference. But
some time back I found info here on how to disable outbound scanning. Now I see
that Symantec TURNS IT BACK ON, without asking, each time it does an update.
Unfortunately for me, I didn't keep the instructions for disabling it. I
remember only that the final step was to tell the program to "make this change
permanent."
Does anyone know the steps? I know enough to scan things that can do damage;
just want to save myself the (literally) hours now being wasted on these
outbound-to-myself scans.
Grateful for any clues.
