'Lo Allie,

On Saturday, October 19, 2002, 7:06:26 AM, you authored this:

<snipsees..you're it>

So  am  I  misunderstanding the functionality of TB!'s plugins then Allie? I
was  imagining  that  they  could  be  used  thusly:  if  a  user  installed
two/multiple  AV  plugins the scanners would run consecutively - on demand -
thereby  providing the advantage of a doublecheck.. if one AV scanner missed
something  then  there would always be the safeguard of a second AV check. I
was  also under the impression that the plugins weren't reliant on real-time
modules being loaded. Rather they functioned in the same way as other on
demand scanners and quit after their task had completed.

The  fact  that  you  are  able  to add more than one AV plugin to the Virus
Checking  Plug-ins  config window led me to believe that the use of mutliple
scanners  was  intended.  If  however  this  isn't the case, and only one AV
package  is  ever going to be loaded to scan the incoming and outgoing mail,
regardless  of  how  many  plugins  exist in the list, then surely a simpler
config  window  would  be  in order, offering only the ability to select one
preferred AV plugin?
