I have updated to the BT's Norton Security. When sending email - via Mail on my Mac - I get a pop up saying 'The Computer xx.xx.xx.xx is attempting to access Mail on your computer. Do you want to allow this connection? I have nervously been clicking 'Allow', and all seems to be fine so far. Is there a way to stop the pop ups?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Norton Security
Go into the Norton settings and untick the box that scans Outgoing emails.
I don't use Norton so it may be slightly different depending on which version BT are using.
-
Start Norton.
If you see the My Norton window, next to Device Security, click Open.
-
Click Settings.
-
In the Settings window, click Antivirus.
-
On the Scans and Risks tab, next to Email Antivirus Scan, click Configure.
-
In the Email Antivirus Scan window, under What to scan, uncheck Scan outgoing email messages.
-
Click Apply.
-
In the Security Request window, from the drop-down menu, select Permanently, and then click OK.
-
In the Email Antivirus Scan window, click OK.
-
Click Close.

Re: Norton Security
Thanks very much. That sounds entirely logical and straightforward. Unfortunately however, those options are absent from the Settings!

As I said, I don't use Norton, what I posted was off their website.
I would imagine that there is a setting some were that will do what I suggested however you may be better posting on the Norton forum where you will find more knowledgeable people about Norton than on this forum.

Re: Norton Security
Hmmm....I cannot truthfully say I got an answer. It was quite a tortuous process to register for the Norton Community Forum, including almost an hour wasted on an online chat. By the time this finally happened, the problem had gone away!
