Can't you enable McAfee to scan you incoming mail - as it is received?

I have Norton AntiVirus - and it works really well - highly recommended.

I think it is also hard to get McAfee to scan entire computer..at least I don't see any open to do a scan. I know with Norton one can set up a regular complete scans. I have the same doubts about the incoming emails (just feel that way).

I upgraded to XP and found out my Norton viruscan was not compatible.
Decided to give McAfee a try (came with the upgrade). I just can't sense it is working the way Norton does. Maybe someone can offer me clarificaton on this. Is it somehow working silently?

Will probably end up buying the XP version of Norton.

Yes, you can enable "e-mail scan" and "download scan".

McAfee can cause problems but it will often catch viruses where other programs won't.
My biggest beef about McAfee is that is keeps telling you you need to purchase an upgrade when you don't. Mainly comes up on an "on demand scan".
