Make sure that you are running the latest release of WorkgroupMail v6 More info
Check that in the folder C:Program FilesWorkgroupMail all of the applications (EXE’s) and application extension files (DLL’s) have the same creation date.
Norton Anti-Virus (CE) must be installed normally. Then, in the NAVCE CD (disk 2), browse to the folder CDROM:NAVCORPROLLOUTAVSERVERCLIENTSDOS. Copy the contents of this folder to a subfolder “Logon” under the Norton installation folder in C:Program Files (example C:Program FilesNavNTLogon or C:Program FilesNorton AntiVirusLogon). NB: for Norton (Symantec) Anti Virus v8 the files are located on the ‘Symantec AntiVirus Legacy Solutions’ CD and should be copied directly into the Symantec installation folder, eg. C:Program FilesSAV.
E-mail scanning, if available as an option, must be disabled.
Specific folders must be excluded from Norton. Ensure that the exclusions list includes the folders C:Program FilesWorkgroupMail and C:WindowsTemp (or C:Temp or C:WinntTemp or C:Documents and SettingsUserLocal SettingsTemp etc. depending on your Operating system). To determine exactly what temp folder is used, look in each folder in turn and send a message through WorkgroupMail. Look out for the temporary creation of mail files of the form tmpxxx.tmp. Check that *.tmp and *.msg are not listed as exclusions. Please note: if WorkgroupMail will be running as an executable when logged in by different users on Windows NT, 2000 or XP then the Temp folder may vary depending on which user is logged in and therefore which user profile is being used. In this case specify all temp folders for exclusion.
Configure Norton actions. Ensure that you have selected ‘Try to repair and then quarantine if unsuccessful’. for the Autoprotect and the Manual Scan setting.
Click View | Summary in the Administrator program to be sure that the Virus Protection plug-in has been imported and is correctly licenced (either purchased or within evaluation). If necessary, import one instance of the Virus Protection plug-in into Workgroupmail. Edit the properties of the Virus Checker (by double clicking it) and select Norton Anti-Virus (Corporate Edition) in the product selector box. Specify a WorkgroupMail user who will receive notification of the detection of a virus. Click OK to close the Virus Checker Property sheet.
