Is my system safe?

I am running windows ME. I have Verizon DSL with MSN. I use MSN mail for my main email.

Now, my avast icon says there are 6 providers and 4 are running. The ones that are not running are the internet mail and the outlook/exchange.

What do I do to get these other 2 providers running or is it fine the way it is.

Please excuse my nOObness, but I searched to no avail…

internet mail is if you use outlook express,thunderbird some email program to check like pop 3 email,outlook is if you use outlook for email,but if your using msn it is not pop3 and i believe msn is checked by mcafee online automatically,your safe.

Rocketfoot, like Bri said, which is your email program?
Does MSN mail is a pop3 mail? I think not… but I’m not sure as I never used a M$ email.

Hotmail is now scanned by Trendmicro, they change it for some reason.

Yay another Verizon user! Just a reminder that webshield won’t work for MSN Premium browser, but Standard Shield will (of course :)) If you’re not using Outlook Express, you can remove Outlook/Exchange provider, and if you’re just gonna use hotmail, you can remove Internet Mail Provider too cause Trendmicro will automactically scan your email attachments in hotmail. If you have and use a Verizon email account, Internet Mail Provider shouldl be able to scan it. :slight_smile:

Enjoy your Verizon subscription!!!

hotmail is scanned by trend micro now thats even better.

Thanks folks, I feel better now! It hard to adjust from paid subscriptions to free! It just a mind thing…people think paid is better than free, but I have seen the light! Thanks again…

My web shields both are active, but I do use firefox and regular ie sometimes. I think I will remove outlook and internet mail providers since I don’t use them…I check verizon mail remotely through MSN mail.

PS…I do love verizon, great price and excellent speed! Thanks again!
