Nod32 came highly recommended, requires no plugin, works well for me (although its scanning slows the system noticeably). And while I am still in the mood to give some help around... AntiVir doesn't need any plug-in too (so you don't have to bother yourself with it, and related problems), for it will check all and everything dealing in any way with the machine (http, ftp, mail, `ordinary' files and so off). It is free (like in `free beer') for personal use. It is (now) faster than NOD32, and slows nothing down. If a `bad' mail is trying to enter, AntiVir will block this particular message (no entire message base will be blocked) and will ask you what to do with it. When it is solved it will allow further download of the mail. Internet update is very fast. You just have to download new whole version every 5 or six months, since this is the period of time the (free) licence is valid. The file is about 12 MB. It is very easy for handling, easier than AVG and many other AV programs. Once you set it up, you forget it. Silent and dangerous. Very good for beginners, but for much more experienced ones too.

Which simply means that the virus code is sitting somewhere in one of TBs messagebase files - in a form that is NOT executable and can't do ANY harm until you decide to manually save the virus code to disk - at this very moment the normal filesystem realtime protection kicks in and quarantines the file. You don't get a chance to execute the virus code. It also didn't remove the virus after the complete scan. You would have to delete the infected message from the TB messagebase file that contains it.

Rest assured that you don't need an extra virus scanner module/plugin/whatever for emails - as long as you have A: a brain that hinders you from saving malicious attachments to disk (and you do have a brain, or else you wouldn't use TB!) - as long as the virus code is in the TB messagebase, it is NOT a threat - and B: a working filesystem realtime protection - just in case A ever fails - with up-to-date virus signatures. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de) There was a door to which I found no key; there was a veil past which I could not see.

Norton Antivirus gives me a warning about a virus in file: C:\Windows\TEMP\bat2121.tmp and it is infected by VBS.LoveLetter.Variant. The temp file bat # is different everytime. I don't know what this is. I can delete or quarantine the file with Norton, but it keeps coming back to my temp folder every time I start TB! with a new file name ...\bat3421.tmp. It also keeps coming back every 10 minutes or so as long as TB! is open. Norton can identify it but can't do anything to clean this problem out. Other virus programs don't recognize it.

Email Virus' and TB!
Hello fellow The Bat User Discussion List members, A attachment containing the ILOVEYOU virus was received and deleted without double clicking on it, although HTML Autoview had been set so TB opened in that way first. Searching on the files it sets in C:\ showed nothing. I made Kill Filters for all active accounts, which act on detecting the signal string ILOVEYOU (without the ) in the subject of any message. I also turned off "HTML Autoview" from the "View" menu of all accounts. Any opinions about that being an adequate solution? Thanks in advance. I did not put ILOVEYOU in the subject of this post, since any answer containing it will presumably be killed.

No..because it only needs to change its name and your check will no longer work...and in fact, that is exactly what it HAS done (or rather someone has done it for it) and there are now 3 versions (at last count) of the letters with the attachment and in each case the subject and message has changed and the name of the VBS file has been changed.

Re[2]: Email Virus' and TB!
Hola Woofie other fellow The Bat User Discussion List members, Friday, May 05, 2000, 7:49:23 AM, you wrote regarding the ILOVEYOU virus that I received and deleted without double clicking on it, after HTML Autoview opened it (maybe it wasn't the attachment) first. DH I made Kill Filters ... on the string ILOVEYOU .. in the DH subject [and] turned off "HTML Autoview". [Is that] an adequate DH solution? W No...there are now 3 versions (at last count) of the letters with W the attachment and in each case the subject and message has W changed and the name of the VBS file has been changed. W You are better off keeping your antivirus sw up to date and never W opening suspicious files...especially ones with the .VBS extension. W Unless you are in the programming field, it is most unlikely anyone W would send you a .VBS file unless it was malicious code. As I matter of fact, I show NO *.vbs file on c:\. BUT - I just found LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs in my TB attach directory on D:\ and deleted it twice. That leaves 6 .vbs files in E:\ (the same 3 in two places, all Digital.vbs, except that the other two are numbered (i.e. Digital2.vbs). These look like they're part of OS/2. They're all 0kb and from '95 and '96. However, some strange things are happening when I download mail. I am getting asked for my password repeatedly, and I am getting "Bad Login" and "Connection to host broken" messages. But maybe the problem is on the server - or with the phone line. I'll soon know. The not so good (I'm told) anti-virus installed shows nothing on any of the 10 partitions, but I forgot to set it for all files. Maybe I should install the better one already.

Unless you are in the programming field, it is most unlikely anyone would send you a .VBS file unless it was malicious code. Under windows 95 its unlikely anyone has vbs associated with anything . We experimented today and all my systems are now again setup to go to Ultraedit when VBS or VBE is clicked. In addition if one gets infected and hasnt rebooted yet, push power to switch off, reboot and under 98 recover previous registry. After which one only has to delete the 3 files. if a reboot has taken place and thus many files have been infected, very likely all those infected files with extension vbs have to be deleted.
