The "Amon" module, which is the real-time scanner, can be set to scan any combination of the following file events: open; execute; create; and rename. Those should cover Internet downloads as well, particularly if the option to scan archive files (such as .zip files) is enabled. CW> Is there also a part that scans for trojans? Any of the better "antivirus" programs scans for more than just viruses. They scan for malicious code; some of those codes are viruses; some (a lot) are worms; and some are trojans. There are those who will say that a trojan scanner is a good backstop defense to run along with an AV program. If you're interested in that, you might check out TDS. Others have decided that the resource usage is too great a price to pay when you can have a good "AV" program and a good firewall, and thereby keep both an effective perimeter and an effective code-killer. -- JN ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
