Hi BJS...Having now set-up your computer so that there is not any conflict between AV programmes, I would be interested to know if your problem has been solved.
Unfortunately, I know nothing about Windows Live Mail. I guess it is somewhat different to the straightforward Windows Mail which is in my computer and which I have programmed to put all e/mails from AB Threads into my Junk Folder; so that a dozen or more can be deleted with a single mouse click.
Ron.
