Hello,
Here i would like to give idea, just like AVG E-mail sheild and some other AntiVirus companies implementing this feature then why not Norton.
Actually when SEP or even Norton Security scans the outbound e-mail send from MS Outlook / Lotus Notes or any other supported E-mail client.
it shows progress bar, whilst it scan attachment of e-mail, the little box at right (down) side of desktop is only visible when user minimized e-mail client.
1st idea:
This progress indicator box should be visible as always on top until e-mail scan completed.
2nd idea:
Norton scan e-mail which contains 5 MB zip file in it, but i notice it scan the e-mail after moving it in "Sent items" folder, right afrer user clicks "send" button, it should keep the e-mail in "Outbox" until the attachment scanning process in progress.
becuase in reality the e-mail is going in phase of scanning and not actually sent.
One could check, if the Internet disconnected at the time of scanning e-mail, then what we should assume, the e-mail is sent ?
as it already comes in sent item just after clicing Send button, but this is not the case, the e-mail is not sent. Even SEP shows this message "The connection to your e-mail server is interrupted" but when you check where your e-mail goes, you will find it in sent items folder, which is actually not sent, then you drag it to your drafts folder and resend it once internet connects.
Norton should work on this major flow of e-mail scanning process.
3rd idea:
there should be Norton seal, at the footer of every e-mail.
I saw many websites which use Norton SSL certificate shows VeriSign Seal (Norton Protected) Seal at the end of page.
So, it would be great, if every outbound e-mail scanned with SEP or Norton Security should inclide this type of Seal at the every last line of e-mail.
This is implented by AVG and it gives goof evidence that the e-mail is clean and contain no viruses.
I hope, peoples scanning their daily e-mails with Norton Auto-Protect feature in SEP will support above 3 ideas.
