McAfee Spamkiller 7 question... - SV650.org

Possibly a really stupid one

Mcafee seems to keep copies of all my blocked emails even after I've deleted them from the "blocked emails" folder... Which it plonks into C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\McAfee\SpamKiller\Users\2\Back, in the form of thousands of .emls. 90 meg worth, in fact, which isn't a big deal- but then, when VirusScan runs, it ends up spending half an hour scanning all those emails, and reports "Ooh, ooh, found some viruses!" Those viruses being the ones that Spamkiller's cunningly hoarding away for no good reason.

It's annoying that it slows down the virus scans- slows AVG and AdAware too (nothing like reduncancy...) but not so badly. But it's also archiving all sorts of Bad Mojo on my C:/ drive, which i'd sooner not have... Any ideas? Apart from "delete them every so often"?
