Hi: The Following documents it Could be Related to your Problem "Additions to Norton AntiVirus' repertoire include scanning for viruses in instant messaging as well as e-mail attachments; the function works with Microsoft's Windows/MSN Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger 4.7 or higher, and Yahoo Messenger 5.0 or higher, but ICQ, Trillian, and other IM users are out of luck.

A new Worm Blocking feature checks outbound e-mails so you won't be guilty of passing along the next Sircam; Symantec says the scheme, like its Script Blocking sibling, can recognize and stop malicious behavior even before a new baddie has been added to the signature list."
So after reading the above documents it Seems like the latest Version Of Norton has a new Features
And if you still Experience the above problem you should Considere Contacting Norton Tech Support or just use Another Program
Bon Courage..
