Scott, You are the greatest! I beat my head against a wall for about 4 hours yesterday trying to figure out why the virus filter was not working. I didn't even think that the Netshield installer would have put the scan.exe in some other random location. I did a search and you are right. Thanks for your help!

The only thing that jumps out at me as a problem is that I have >the virus scanner site (in the Declude Virus config file) pointing to the >scan32.exe and not the scan.exe (simply because it does not install with >Netshield). Do you think that this is the problem? That is the problem. Scan32.exe is a user-guided "Point and Click" Windows program, whereas scan.exe is a command line scanner that can be used by an automated program such as Declude. Scan32.exe is going to expect that you will be there to tell it what to do, which will take a lot of time if you have to point and click for every E-mail that comes in. If you take a look at your Declude Virus log file, you will likely see error messages saying that the Scan32.exe program never ended and that Declude terminated the process. That's because when Declude starts scan32.exe, it expects that you will tell it what to do, so it just happily sits forever until Declude terminates it. >I don't think that VirusScan works with NT 4 Server so I am having to use >the Netshield. Any >ideas? Some versions of VirusScan will work on NT4 Server (specifically, the "MultiPlatform" version, that is part of the "VirusScan Security Suite"). However, since you have NetShield, you might as well use it. First, I would recommend re-installing NetShield, doing a "Full Install" (otherwise, it may not install the scan.exe file). If that doesn't seem to work, I would recommend using Windows Explorer to search for the scan.exe file -- NetShield may have put it in a different directory than the one you told it to install to. If you are still having troubles, feel free to E-mail me directly and I can work with you to figure out what is wrong. -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
