To my knowledge, it does not. However, the ability to delete
questionable mails on the server through the Connection Centre is
really helpful, I think.

I have used Kaspersky Personal Pro for almost 8 months now. It offers
updated virus-protection files daily, and sometimes several times a
day. You can set it to check automatically at a time of your choosing,
or update manually with a couple of mouse clicks.

It includes a plug-in for The Bat! You have to enable the plug-in
through TB!'s settings. But that's simple. Just go to Options/Virus
Protection in the main window for the dialogue window to do this.

When I accidentally started to download a message attachment
containing SoBig a couple of months ago, Kaspersky AV brought the
download to a halt and gave me a loud audible and a visual warning
before it was halfway to my machine.

Needless to say, I was grateful!

I had some difficulties with Mcafee last year. I like Kaspersky
better.
