What bits of AVG itself do I have to keep running DW to make it operational? I don't think I want to run AVG's Resident DW Shield alongside Trend's Real-Time monitor, for instance. But I do DW want it to update. DW Doug Just uncheck the Resident Shield boxes (and then click on Save Parameters as New Default) and leave the control center (icon on your taskbar) running. You need not have the Resident Shield operational for the plugin to do it's job. I know many that have two or three AV's installed with the primary AV performing resident scan operation and the other two to either utilize a plugin feature or have a back up AV program to check to see if the primary missed something. - -- Regards, D Gerard Raftery Sr. ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI! -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP for Business Security 6.0 iQA/AwUBPaSnWWGmTEg4iItaEQKzXQCfaCk7ToQs1+GkIGqlRxsSQd0o0wUAn2/M fJuAXypLnNY+sXHLH6emeCqk =V2KG -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Recovering old messages

Is V there any way I can recover my old messages? Without the backup you will need install The_Bat! on XP to get the proper registry pointers and keys and then move the entire The_Bat!\Mail directory over to the install then start The_Bat! and create the mail accounts utilizing the EXACT name you used in the Win2k installation (i.e. the folder names under your Mail directory). At this point you should see after you type in the account name that, as you toggle through the account information screens, that The_Bat! recognizes all the other information and message base files. What you are doing is actually recreating the accounts so all your mail and folders will appear when you finish the account creation (recreation). I hope that I have explained this properly enough to get you on your way back to your old messages. - -- Regards, D Gerard Raftery Sr. Windows is NOT a virus.

Your explanation this time, was much more clear.

Any Acc reason to just let well enough alone? Any AV software that is worth it's salt SHOULD, with resident scanner abilities ON, alert when you try and open an e-mail attachment that is infected. As reported within this thread, the plus side of having an e-mail plugin is to quarantine and bring the exact message to your attention. I have seen Norton AV, resident shield only, alert and disappear leaving one to weed through AV logs only to find that the infected file is specified but not the e-mail message that carried the payload. In most cases, as a network engineer of some 28+ years, I want the file AND the message flagged so I can gather all pertinent information as to the sender, ISP, what SMTP server allowed the file to pass and as much routing info as can be gleamed from the RFC-822 header info. Anyway ... I ramble. In the end to each their own. Whatever YOU feel secure doing is what plan of action you need follow. Opinions are like buttholes.
