Panda and email (also the "microsoft email")

I am getting the "microsoft Update" virus via email up to 15 emails a day, I
just delete them all but it is clogging my mail box. I have email rules to
auto delete them but the "from" and "subject" names always change so I still
get alot through.

The problem I have with panda is that if the email protection is on it will
not download the email virus to my computer but because this email is being
blocked so are all the emails behind it. So the result is the email pop
server timing out all the time. To get email i have to turn email protection
off.

Am I doing something wrong with the settings? I have the full version of
panda platnuim 7.0.

Any advice will be welcome

First, start munging your email address, when posting to usenet. Swen
harvests email address from recently posted messages.

If your isp doesn't have an option to scan for, and delete viruses, in
you inbox, you need a program that can id, and delete the messages,
from the server, without downloading the full message. I'm using
Magic Mail Monitor. See http://home.fiam.net/mikejenn/MMM3.html

You should setup panda to either delete or quarantine incoming mail that's
infected instead of prompt for action.

prompting is all panda does (then auto deletes, but you have to click
OK for it to go to the next message)

Open Panda Platinum 7 and go to "configure permanent protection". Then
click to "configure permanent mail protection".
Click on the tab labeled "Warnings" and inside there "un-check" the box
which says "show local warning".
That should get rid of the prompt and the Panda will just do it's worked
without asking your permission.
I have been enjoying this program. It seems very impressive.

Thank you for the advice David :)

I just changed ISP's and will make sure my new posts include an invalid
email address, woot@bigpond is no longer available :)

Sorry man, can't find those options anywhere :(

i'm using Panda Titanium AV 2004. closes i have to that is "automatic
protection setting" and that leads nowhere really.
