Answer» Hi, I'm typing from my grandmother's computer. She likes to use Eudora, but her settings keep getting, um... messes up. Instead of*

it reads

Thinking it was Eudora, I found the Eudora.ini file, SET it correctly, saved it, and flagged it "read-only". However, the settings STILL change, though the .ini file does not (obviously, I did set it to read-only). Eudora tech SUPPORT says it's McAfee, and my test rules out Eudora as the culprit. I can't think of any viruses that can do this (she's got me around, and we all know how wonderful McAfee is, so I made *censored* good and sure that she's got SpyBot, SpywareBlaster, a HOSTS file, and the like). AcAffee is, it appears, causing this.
My question is thus, since I'm not familiar with McAfee: Where would I find the settings that control Email?Just in the main part of it, Security Center I think. Just disable the spam filter, it's junk anyways and that's what keeps changing her info. I SEE it all the time. Pain in the *censored* but fairly easy to fix. Disabling the spam filter will usually take care of it.Sorry, that didn't work. :-/Do a complete uninstall of Mcafee then re-install without Spamkiller or just get rid of Mcafee."Yeah, I'd like to!"

I'll see if she wants to do a reinstall, but I'm not sure how McAfee subscription works... if it's like Norton, where you have to Email tech support, I'll put it off a day or two. But wouldn't disabling McAfee SpamBlock do the job?

Right-click on the McAfee icon down by the Windows clock (it might look like a shield with a red letter V) and click VirusScan Console in the shortcut menu.
