I keep my Corporate version of Norton running. I don't have any real issues with speed most of the time. I have Declude 1.53 running with the latest dat file from McAfee but Norton still catches this backdoor virus. Interesting enough, the file that it is finding it in is not the main.mbx file. It seems to be catching the virus after declude but before the message is appended to the mail.mbx file when it is main.mbx.1. This way it seems to be caught without the user needing to log in with the web interface.

That is a very wise idea. Otherwise, huge amounts of unnecessary CPU time can be used up. For example, if someone has a 40MB .mbx file, Norton will scan a 40MB file each time a 1K E-mail arrives. And, since Norton likely won't be able to catch many viruses (typically desktop scanners only catch HTML viruses, as they don't know the .MBX file format), the benefits are minimal. And, if a virus is detected, that whole 40MB file will get deleted -- not too nice for the recipient. That's why SMTP-based virus scanners (such as out Declude Virus, and IMail AntiVirus) are so useful. -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.
