Ermmmmm Marck I hate to disillusion you, but 25kb is plenty big enough to allow some viruses through :-( Whereas most of the recent ones have been fixed size and larger e.g. we've seen Bugbear 50kb, Opasoft 120kb, Roron 115kb, etc, or variable, e.g. Klez, there are those which are smaller - e.g. Duksten at 10kb, Sponge at 14.3kb and Ramidle/Ramlide at 18kb would all slip under the limit you have fixed. I'd hate for anyone to be lulled into a false sense of security because they believe that viruses don't come that small. -- Cheers, Anne Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 A The Bat Email - Unofficial Support Forum: http://the-bat-forums.donzeigler.com ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
