A devout NAV user for past six years, I've recently switched to AVG because I wanted a TB! plug-in functionality. Another thing about NAV is it's too big ! Also, I don't like the way Symantec installs two extra applications, i.e. LiveReg and LiveUpdate alongside NAV. Otherwise, I've had no problems whatsoever with NAV for past six years. -- be well, Sudip Pokhrel |/\ PM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |\ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign PGP Key ID: 0xD93F5185| X Against HTML E-mail ! http://pgpkeys.mit.edu|/ \ ___ Refuse Novocain...

very ot: what antivirus program?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Bat! people, I'm currently using the Ve-com system suite, (formerly Ontrack) virus scanner which has an email scanner that listens for viruses coming through my pop3 account. As i understand it, this works for incoming mail, but there are virus scanners that can scan outgoing mail as well and work with TB. I'm thinking of getting one of those scanners, and was thinking of AVG, but i've now heard that it wasn't very good. At the risk of starting an inflamed discussion, (which isn't my intention), i wonder what people suggest i use as a good virus scanner that works well with Tb!.

After having tried and/or used several different AV programs, I've been very happy with NOD32 for the past year and a half. If you're generally careful, and use a good anti-virus as a backup to your safe hex practices, there's really no need for an outgoing scanner.

Re[3]: very ot: what antivirus program?
Hello, Barry2 and all: I am successfully using Norton Anti-Virus and ChoiceMail (to catch spam) with The Bat. NAV quarantines a worm or virus about once a day. Only disappointment is that the NAV subscription price seems to have (virtually) gone through the roof over the past year. Perhaps because I just had to buy a whole new product from Norton, NAV 2002. Your experiences with NAV anybody?

I disagree :) After all...if the program didn't catch something on its way in, why would you expect it to catch it on the way out? :-) 1) Because we've already seen that message fragments get around virus detection both of an external scanner and of the scanner plugins. The Bat! will reassemble the already checked parts into a virus infected payload. In other words, it *wasn't* a detectable virus when the scanner first checked it but it *is* a detectable virus if I were to forward the message to someone else. 2) Because no matter how good the scanner, virus definitions lag behind initial propagation. It's possible that when the message was received the identification was not in the database but when I try and send/forward the message the updated database will catch it. -- Best regards, Lourdes Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
