Norton 360 scan of aol and yahoo emails
OS= Win XP Home SP3 with Outlook Express 6
I recently purchased and installed Norton 360. Want to use it to scan my email accounts on Yahoo! and AOL. They're both accounts I established a long time ago and do not wish to abandon. However, neither can be scanned directly by Norton 360.
Originally I thought the best way to handle this things was to forward all my incoming emails on Yahoo! and AOL to my new Outlook Express account. Then simply set up Norton 360 to scan the OE6 incoming emails. But I discovered that I would need to pay for an upgraded Yahoo! email account to forward emails, and AOL simply doesn't offer incoming email forwarding.
Plan B is to create an Outlook Express account through my new ISP [SECTV], then access both my Yahoo! and AOL email through it. I've found OE6 setup procedures on the Web that will enable me to do this. But to access Yahoo! I need to download and run something called YPOPs!
Am I on the right track here? I've been hammered over the last few years by viruses and spyware entering through both email accounts. Really need to start scanning them and filtering out the bad stuff.
Thank you.
