re-enlisting G-mane
Hello all, I have been subscribing to TBUDL for quite a while now, and communicated through mail. The mail got too bulky - even the digests - so I gave up and only occasionally glanced and the message on-line. G-mane is a big improvement, but I have lost the instructions as to how to be allowed to post there. I tried posting, but my message never appeared. I guess this is because the e-mail address my newsreader shows is (for obvious reasons!) not my main address, the one I used to subscribe to TBUDL. I do not want to use my main e-mail address on usenet, so do I subscribe again to TBUDL, this time with the email address used for newsgroups? -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! 2.10 Windows XP _ Current version is 2.10.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Compuserve and TB! ?
Hello all, My husband has always used Compuserve Classic for access to the Internet and mailing. Since I hooked him onto my little network with a fast adsl connection, he does not need Compuserve to surf the net, but insists he needs it for mail. He does not want to change his e-mail address. At the moment he goes on line with the adsl connection and then starts up his Compuserve mail programme. Seems a bit unpractical to me. - Is it possible to collect his Compuserve mail with TB!? - If yes, how do I arrange that? - Could the address book be imported? (No need to import his old messages, since he can keep Compuserve to access those). Can someone think of something clever? (I am trying to wean him off Compuserve, but he wants to keep it for various reasons - his address and world wide access). I would be very grateful if someone could help me. -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.62 X-mas ed. op Windows XP _ Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

e33 . not caught by AVG
DWAre you running the most recent virus definitions from AVG? When did you DWlast update? My AVG updates automatically every two days, I just did a DWmanual download a minute ago there's a new update - so it must be less DWthan 48 hours since the last one. Thanks, Deborah, but I do check for updates every day before opening my email - and indeed got a new update today (the second this week if I am not mistaken). But my understanding is that updating has nothing to do with detecting the eicar-file, which is there for test purposes only, as I am sure my AVG knows: I tested my system with sending myself the eicar-file a while ago. Then AVG did protest, so I am worried that it doesn't now that the file comes as an attachment to a message in a digest. -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.62b7 op Windows XP _ Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

O But I would like AVG to warn me *before* I save something to O disc. (with bugbears and its off spring I was always properly O warned). Paul I use AVG and it gave me a pop-up notification of the virus and Paul isolated it. thanks for responding, Paul, but it gets more worrying: you and someone else (forgot who) both reported that AVG *did* warn you. So I wonder why I didn't get a pop-up! Are you using the digest or reading all messages as they come in? I am a complete ignoramus on these things and try to protect my system with (Free version of) AVG and the TB! plugin.

send me eicar, please
Hello all, since AVG did not warn me when John unwillingly sent the eicar-file to the list, I got worried. when I try to download the file myself, AVG does sound alarm-popup's , but that is not good enough. therefore: can someone send the eicar test file to me [EMAIL PROTECTED] (I swear this is my own address - at least one of them. ) that seems the only way to check my email security Just eicar please, no real virusses! Or: if there is way by which I could send the file to myself without actually downloading it, I would be very glad to hear from you. -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.62b7 op Windows XP _ Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: send me eicar, please
thanks everyone for either sending me the eicar file (which still doesn't get detected) or giving other hints and tips. Anthony Xin Chen: I tried to follow your instructions: Go to Options / Virus Protection /. Select the AVG plug in, then click on the Configure button at right. Verify in the popup window whether the scan messages by this plug-in option is checked. Under Configure I cannot find the button you mention (only options about sounds and pop-up windows, both checked), but in the general window all options about checking messages are checked (including: check attachment before saving to disc). so no luck there. I will try they URL several people send me, so I won't have to bother you again, asking for eicar.

Re: eicar : relieve!
Hello all, when I sent myself the eicar-file from http://www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest/, AVG did indeed warn me with a sound signal and a pop up. I feel ever so relieved!

Hello Anne, Agree wholeheartedly with everything Deborah and others said. Thanks, Raj, for that link: more evidence of the usefulness of this group, to newbies and experts alike. Anne: as regards the great number of messages every day: try the digest. That is what I do now. The digest comes in a very userfriendly form.

suddenly weird characters
Hello all, Sometimes, when typing a message in TB!, certain characters will change - i.e. in stead of ( I will get ), colon's become plus-minus-signs etc. Closing TB down and starting it up again usually solves the problem, so I wonder if I clumsily and unwittingly use some short cut that changes the keyboard layout. Would that be possible? (I have only one keyboard defined in Windows). -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.61 op Windows XP _ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/

AVG and message body
Hello all, After reading some comments in this list, I decided to give the AVG free version a try. I also downloaded and ran the plugin avgbat8us.exe. When I installed the plug in a warning came on to the extent that AVG would not be able to scan the message itself (as opposed to attachments) due to a bug in TB!. I sent myself the eicar.com text, both just as text in an e-mail and in another message as attachment. The latter was instantly recognised, the first not. Does this mean I am still vulnerable to viruses sent to me as part of the text itself? Is this what was meant in AVG's warning? Do I need to take action? Please reassure me! -- Regards, Ochrid _ The Bat! v1.60h op Windows XP _ Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
