Go for a methodical approach, so ensure Norton has been removed first.

What MSN are you using 7.5 of live - I have a virtual box that I can test this out on for you jane
The on access scanner will of course scan files recieved from msn

But in the Msn messenger preferences its possible to specify which av software you wish MSN to invoke an ondemand scan of the file with on comlpetion of a filetransfer

in order to do this you'd need to know the full path to the scanners .exe files and the paraimters which need to be passed to the av scanner to make it scan the file

personaly i never bother as the on access scanner should take care of any viruses in incoming file transfers anyway so whats the poinnt of scanning it again with the ondemand scanner
