I'm not familiar with the Kaspersky antivirus program,
but I have seen signs on the Microsoft newsgroups
that the Norton versions older than 2009 are not
compatible with the Windows Mail and Windows Live
Mail email/newsreader programs from Microsoft.
Also, the 2009 and 2010 versions are supposed to be
compatible with the email portions of those programs,
but not adequately tested for compatibility with the
newsgroups portions.

That's okay, you don't need to scan e-mail and newsgroup articles
anyway.

True, I hadn't considered other features than just proxy scanning or
programs just 'falling over' at the slightest provocation.
