oh, no problem there, I read all sorts of newsletters, langalist, tourbus, tbot, tbudl... and I have ALWAYS stayed current with virus updates, always.

I have TB set to remove files after deleting from trash. I THOUGHT I had removed 2 virus emails from quarantine, but when I did a system scan ( online command-on-demand) it found 2 infected files ( and the eicar:) in my c:\mercury\mail folder, dated 10 days ago. NOW, if I had removed those emails from quarantine, don't they go to trash? If so, how did mercury keep them? They were harmless ( I think) anyway, because I only use TB for mail. Like you said, I pretty much know when a virus is sent, but it scares me when my close friends send me attachments, because most of them are virus-clueless, and they send those chain letters out constantly, and hoax virus warnings, without checking SNOPES.com . -- Paul Using The Bat! v1.62/Beta7 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
