Outlook Express 6 error

[Alan Fowler]

Since installing McAfee antivirus and personal firewall
software my outlook express programme hasn't worked
properly. It comes up with error messages when I try
send/receive mail then as I close the program or shortly
afterwards a window appears saying 'MSIMN: this program
has performed an illegal operation and will be shut
down'. The PC freezes and I must physically shut down. I
can't find any help on the Microsoft website. Any
suggestions much appreciated. Thanks

McAfee is very buggy when used with OE, insideoe.tomsterdam.com should have
more information

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002 & 2003 from
the Office family for Intel PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting
in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this
