I may be having a similar problem.
Not a new user. On-Access Scanner is busily popping up the blue note at bottom right for two days solid now, continuous. Well, sort of continuous....it spurts up 2, 5, 10
existing message subject lines, or so, then releases them, one after another until the blue note disappears. Then it takes another gulp and repeats. It seems to be working through all outlook folders,
currently working in Sent Items folder, so it has come quite a ways thus far. I do not know if it is in Archives/Sent Items or Personal Folders/Sent Items, as there is no such indication.
Appears to be scanning each and every piece of mail though I can't say for sure. I have no idea where to spy on this process' origin or stage of completion, or even whether it is actually expected behavior or not.
If it is running some sort of deliberate maintenance, perhaps seeking Kama Sutra evidence?, which is what I first imagined upon seeing it in process.
If the behavior
is expected, I would prefer that it do this work in the background without the perpetual messaging.
Thinking back, the sequence of events was that
1. I became aware of the kama sutra situation a few days ago.
2. I immediately started a disc scan using the tray icon Start-avast-antivirus path.
3. Eureka, perhaps I should be CERTAIN that I have the latest updates.
4. Stopped the scan.
5. Forced the updates from the system tray.
6. Received message to restart computer
7. did so
8. Working along for several hours when
9. bluenote bluenote bluenote gang-o-bluenotes.
Wat givs? How to proceed ?
XP Pro SP2, OL2003Pro, Dell Lat C840, more? ask.
