[WARNING - NOT VIRUS SCANNED] inserted in subject line

bastanu · 04-02-2008, 04:39 PM

Email Client: MS OUtlook 2003
AV: Symantec Corporate 10.1.0.394

Problem: when attaching zip files the recipient gets [WARNING - NOT VIRUS SCANNED] before the subject line. Unchecked the Internet and Exchange email autoprotect with no success; disabled Symantec Autoprotect - no go.

Any sugestions greatly appreciated !

Just to add to this:

I uninstalled Symantec and installed AVG 7.5 (free version)- I still get the same message, but I do have both AVG certifications (outgoing + incoming):

No virus found in this outgoing message.
Checked by AVG.
Version: 7.5.519 / Virus Database: 269.22.5/1356 - Release Date: 4/2/2008 4:14 PM

And to add even more:
I installed Thunderbird and used it to send/receive -I get the same behaviour ([WARNING - NOT VIRUS SCANNED] inserted).

Could it be my ISP (Shaw Cable) SMTP or POP servers adding this to the subject line (I called them and they said no, but I don't really think the support tech that answered really had the knowledge)?

Thank you very much for any answers, some people get worried when they see that in the subject line.
