30 z Norman Security Suite - User’s Guide

Incoming / Outgoing e-mail scan all e-mail that you receive and send

to others. Even your best friend, closest business associate or yourself

may be ignorant of a virus infection.

The option Newsgroups scans the traffic generated between your

computer and the other participants in the group/forum you are active

in.

Instant messaging (received files) scans file transfer traffic during

instant messaging sessions with MSN Messenger and Windows

Messenger. When this option is selected, NIP will scan incoming files

for malware. If a file is infected, a pop-up message will warn about the

incident.

Only file transfers are scanned, so infected links still pose a threat.

Note that the files that are transferred will be scanned when they are

written to the directory ...\Temporary Internet Files. If

malware is detected, it is probably a .tmp file that is quarantined. To

restore a quarantined .tmp file, select the desired file, choose the Save

as option from the right-click menu and save the file with its original

name and extension.
