***This would be the same as turning off the email scan.***
Are you still protected from viruses if your ISP does not use the POP3

Yes, NAV Auto-Protect protects your computer from viruses and other
malicious code by automatically scanning any email attachment file that is
opened, moved, or copied on your hard drive. For more information see How
Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect protects your computer.
