Title: Mail Protection Wizard
Post by: Copernicus on June 04, 2004, 02:59:56 AM: I'm not sure if I set up may email accounts in the mail protection wizard right. I use hotmail and netscape mostly, although I'll probably start using Gmail when and if it comes out. Anyway can you guys walk me through the process of conconfiguring the mail protection wizard for hotmail and netscape (the steps) just so I can make sure I did it right and its protecting those accounts. Thanks.

But as for Hotmail, it use McAfee I believe so you're pretty safe on Hotmail as is.
