AVG Certification Message

2005-02-21 Thread Paul Stephen
I am bamboozled. I get emails from others (not necessarily using The
Bat!) that have this string embedded:

 No virus found in this outgoing message.
 Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
 Version: 7.0.300 / Virus Database: 266.1.0 - Release Date: 18/02/2005

Is this text added automatically to The Bat messages or do I have to
write my own macro to add this? (The AVG plug-in works fine.)

In AVG 7 I have certify turned ON in both Incoming and Outgoing
mail.

I am still using Version 1.61 of The Bat!

I wouldn't bother to add it. Nobody should rely on what a message says.
It just gives a false sense of security.

To exaggerate:
This message contains no virus, no adware, no spyware and it isn't spam.
Run this attachment now. It's good for you.

This signature is added by the AVG system if you select the option to do so. 
IMHO, it's totally ridiculous to add such a signature, especially when you have 
no attachment added.

Hello Dick,

DH This signature is added by the AVG system if you select the
DH option to do so. IMHO, it's totally ridiculous to add such a
DH signature, especially when you have no attachment added.

OK, I agree -- I just wanted to know HOW this is accomplished (for my
own amusement. g)

As I stated, I have VERIFY turned on in AVG for both INCOMING and
OUTGOING mail but nothing is added. I thought this was the OPTION but
no verification text is added to my emails.

What's the trick?

I stopped using AVG more than a year ago and as far as I can remember this 
signature is only supported for Outlook or Outlook/Express..maybe there are 
AVG guru's here who can confirm or correct this?

You actually said certify in
mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Verify performs the check and certify adds a note about the
positive result. Presumably the message is not sent if a virus
_is_ found.

The only possible use I can see for this is for testing purposes
and I would _strongly_ urge anybody who has these ridiculous
certifications in their emails to turn them off.

 What's the trick?

If using the AVG plugin for TB! go to Options | Preferences |
Protection | Anti-virus

double-click AVG Plug-in for The Bat! on the list you find.

Remove the ticks from both boxes marked certify mail.

Press OK.


If using AVG's generic email scanner, open the AVG control centre
and doubleclick on email scanner then click configure, then
remove the ticks... as above.

If you want the certification messages on, say for testing or
perhaps to annoy people, put those ticks back. If you click on
details, you can customise the message (and change the language
for the bits about versions and release dates).
