TB! Antivirus settings for NAV2002 - Total newbie
Hello to all TB! friends. I'm still trying to sort out all my various installation problems. Now I'm left with 3 specific ones, for which I'm writing separately, so that you can be free to choose what to answer to. Thank you in advance for all your help. ANTIVIRUS NAV 2002 settings on TB! My NAV is instructed to scan all incoming and outgoing mail, which it did in Netscape and does now in OE, with no further configuring needed inside the mail programs themselves. On the other hand, something weird is happening with TB! It does NOT scan incoming mail, it does OCCASIONALLY scan outgoing mail, it requires (or so I think) some strange plug-in I don't know of, and it refuses to find what it needs in the NAV directory. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for all your help in this.

You should not believe. You should know. I was not telling your setup is 100% perfect and everything works like a charm even if it looks different. I was just telling you The Bat! AV-Plugins have nothing to do with NAV-2002 and it's transparent proxy function. If NAV-2002 does not scan properly when The Bat! connects _AND_ the settings for server and port are identically in The Bat! to the one on OE/NC there's something messy with NAV-2002. I don't use it myself, I just do know how it's expected to work from reading technical manuals and the TB-lists. so have a look into NAV-log file and ask NAV technical support (maybe online forums or user lists???) why NAV could deny to scan your incoming mails; it shouldn't if it's set up to scan port 110 traffic and The Bat! connects to port 110. -- Regards Peter Palmreuthermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2) 1stReader: Anything else is greasy kid-stuff.

I use NAV 2002 with email scanning on and works fine. It has caught 3 or 4 viruses in the last week. On in coming mail do you see the mail icon in the tray? If no, then either you have email scanning off, or you have unselected Display tray icon when processing Email. To turn email scanning on go to Options | Select Internet Email and under What to scan select Scan incoming Email /or Scan outgoing Email. To make sure it is working under What to do when scanning Email select Display tray icon when processing Email. If that doesn't do it, I suggest you contact Symantec at http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/.

Hello Ochrid, Friday, July 12, 2002, 10:50:11 AM, you wrote: O Peter Palmreuyther talks about ports - do you know how to check O that in NAV? I have NAV 2002 with NSW 2002 Pro. I checked the options for NAV saw no settings for ports that I could see with quick check. I did check NAV help. It stated if you don't see icons in tray to uninstall, then re-install. I use Win98, I see you use XP. Symantec's NAV 2002 product was release about the time XP was. There may be some glitches there. From reading this list you probably won't find large support for Symantec's products here. I've used them for years, but do agree with substantial # of people that product is turning to BLOAT ware. I have everything off on boot with NSW except NAV. Symantec is reducing options to manage your PC. For example most product updates are no longer available as FTP or HTTP download. At least I couldn't find them on their FTP site as directed by Symantec's support. Unless Symantec changes management options after this year of support is up with the current product, I will probably replace NAV with another product. If you have NAV active on boot, you ARE protected. You just can't tell if attachments are viri. Not a big deal if you don't open attachments indiscriminately. Even if you do and keep your definitions up to date, then you should be protected to the extent possible. This discussion is getting a little OT and not really applicable to this list. As I stated earlier, I think you should contact Symantec at http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/ and post message to on-line support. It is free. -- Best regards, Greg Strong TB! v1.60q/Post5 on Windows 98 Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
