I got around this by using Windows Task Scheduler to start up the Updater while I was logged off. Then you can log in and log out freely and the Scheduler keeps running just fine.

Haven't tried this yet as > I log in everday to the mail server. I haven't tried the AT with the command line either, but several people have said it works just fine. Everything always worked so good just logging in and letting the schedule do it's job, that it is hard to take the time to explore other options. But to take this even more off topic, what about a server which isn't a mail server. I always understood that to have the anti-virus working, you needed to log in to start the program from the startup menu and have the F-prot icon in the system tray. So assuming You have the command line updater running us AT The anti-virus program doesn't start until you log in and the start up menu executes, You don't log into the server so.... the updater is working on it's schedule, every x hours it updates the virus files, but if you don't log in to the server the anti-virus program doesn't start? Is this right? If anti-virus isn't running. The updater really doesn't matter much. Sounds like the best answer for anti-virus protection, even with the issues pointed out by John, is to log in and lock the console.
