It does check outbound mail for viruses, yes. But in any case, does anyone know of a virus that can send itself to people in your address book if you are using The Bat!? {On-topic warning!!} The only ones I've heard of depend on Outlook. As for outgoing connections, I don't want to stop them entirely, not when it is at the expense of running useful programs like Website-Watcher. -- John De Hoog http:dehoog.org ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
