Ah, thanks! It seems everything html has a glaring white background, while I have the text message background color set as grey, so maybe it's being overridden, or 4.2 is different. Here (in 4.0.38), I have white text on a black background. Many HTML messages over-ride one or both of these defaults but I only look at the HTML if the plaintext version doesn't show me the message. -- Best regards MFPA Dogs look up to us.

Re: TB! and Windows 7 UAC
Hi Cesar, Thanks for your message. That's the problem. I give my permission every time TB! starts. Try the following: Find The Bat! in the Program Files directory, right click it and go to the compatibility tab. Check Run as Administrator. However, if I lower the warnings level from UAC (no warning, lowest level), nothing bothers me anymore. Well, to run the computer with an administrative account and turning off UAC is a very, very bad idea. That would open the door for more malwares like the one you got from that iPhone website :-) I should probably do that because as I read before from friends at TBUDL, UAC wouldn't help so much with security issues. Well, security wise it is always a good idea to run with the least possible privileges. So create a restricted user and if you need to install something make sure you scan it first for virus and malware and then install it using the administrative account that was created during the setup of the computer. -- Regards, Raymund Current version is 4.2.12.4 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Check Run as Administrator. Thanks for your message. Your suggestion, even running TB as Administrator, the program prompts asking for permission to access the HD and to commit changes on it. I tried different levels from UAC vertical cursor. It only works without restriction if used with no UAC restrictions (UAC cursor down). According to Danger and an article I read about UAC it really doesn't provide enough security as I was thinking before. Anyway Kaspersky had picked up the Trojan and eliminated it. I think that whenever I try again searching for information from Google I should do it using Linux that, somehow, looks to have better means of protection.

Security Issues are taken very seriously and patched as soon as they are found. Having the source code makes it possible for many people to tackle the issue at once. Also usually it is easy to contact the package maintainers. -- Best regards, Dangermailto:dan...@bway.net Current version is 4.2.12.4 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
