I have setup Norton AntiVirus (Systemworks 2003) to scan .sylpheed/mimetmp every two minutes, which is how often I receive mail with my cable connection, but that means Norton AV pops up a scanned/finished dialog every 2 minutes as well. Is there a Norton AV user on the list that can provide a more elegant method of achieving the same result?
