SOLUTION :: Failure to send email via any email client in Windows 7 (possibly any)

[antowan]

Scenario :: Windows 7 Home Edition fails to send email on any mail client.
Norton Internet Security Suite installed but non responsive to interaction requests and cannot be removed outside of Windows in SAFE MODE.

Solution :: Download Norton Removal Tool for your product. Enter Windows Safe Mode and remove Norton from Symantec.

Problem was solved. Email works.

Ja, also had a couple of issues with McAfee after uninstalling.

Otherwise it works well though.

But Norton/Symantec gets uninstalled first time round.

I had a client with McAfee with the same problem. Even after uninstalling in Safe Mode there was residule DLL blocking mail and the net

I guess it wasn't the enterprise version with all the added HIPS etc add-ons. That thing kills Q6600 systems.
