OK, this is weird . . .

just got a spam email in the inbox, using outlook express and Norton. Went to click on "this is spam" on the norton thingy and neither the "this is spam" nor the "this is not spam" buttons were available to use!

Usually it will be one or the other, depending on if the email has been classified as spam or not. Never had one do this. Anyone with ideas? I just deleted the thing.

My solution would be to ditch Outlook Express (too vulnerable to attacks) and Norton (too bloated) in favor of Mozilla or some other mail program, and AVG for antivirus. YMMV...

Thunderbird (the Mozilla email program) http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/
and nod32. http://www.eset.com/solutions/home_office.php

We use Thunderbird on all of our Macs and PCs.

NOD32 is the consesus A(nti!) V of choice on the geek forums. The other "you got infected last week" stuff can't cut it anymore. NOD32 knows it's bad now without needing the signature update you'll get next week.
