Anti Virus S/W
Hello Group Apologies if this is way off topic for this group but Norton Anti Virus (AKA as Over Bearing Net Nanny, per Marck) is driving me mad, it is now putting up a dialog every ten second telling me my A/V protection is turned off, which it isn't. I have a paid for copy of F-Prot but it doesn't check email which I feel is quite important nowadays. Has anybody any recommendations for an effective A/V product that will work unobtrusively in the background and check my incoming email? I doubt I can repair Norton so I am in for a re-install but I'd like to find a decent A/V app first. Many thanks. -- Jeff Gaines Damerham Hampshire UK :Jeff_Gaines: Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Although it is recommended that anyone not use more than one AV solution due to potential conflicts, I also use AVG 7 Pro along side nod32 and they co-exist very nicely on my machine.

TBUDL Mission Statement
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Greetings TB Listers, This is your monthly message from the moderation team to remind you of the primary purpose of this discussion list. To review the list rules, follow the link at the end of this message. Before posting a question to the list, please check The Bat! User's FAQ at: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/FAQ.html and the list archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, send a message to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] There is also a beginners 'MAQ' (Most Asked Questions) available by clicking here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and sending the resulting message. TBUDL Mission statement The TBUDL list has been set up for the purpose of discussing The Bat! and how to use it. It is a community of users ready and able to help new users get to grips with some of the capabilities of this flexible email client. More complex issues are discussed on the TBTECH list (see below for details). Simply send messages to mailto:TBUDL@thebat.dutaint.com to send it to the whole list. See the notes at the end of this message for details about how to manage your list membership or to leave the list. It would probably be a good idea for you to set up a folder to keep TBUDL messages in. If you do this, the next most useful thing to have in place is an automatic filter to move mail from your inbox into your TBUDL folder. Set up a filter for incoming mail which looks for: Header Field [Reply-To] Contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Roguemoticon Project It's nice to see your contact's face in the header ... and for them to see yours. That's what roguemoticons are all about. If you wish to add yourself, then you'll need to visit this site http://www.pcwize.com/thebat What this place will do for you is to allow you to create an account, add your image and then let you download a .ZIP file containing all the files you'll need to be able so see people's faces without having to send or receive any real images in any messages. To trigger the roguemoticon display in the message header for anyone reading your message using TB, you have the choice of using the X-Rogue: header or a signature trigger. How to use a signature trigger The image is triggered by a 'Handle' you've defined in your account, and when that Handle appears in a message it gets replaced on the client side by the corresponding image. A handle could look like anything you want it to look like pretty much. For example: :Leif_Gregory: Just add this text to your standard message signature block. How to create the X-Rogue: header You can do that with this macro: %SetHeader('X-Rogue',':your_handle:')%- in your templates for this and other tb-lists. However, the macro alone won't do the trick. TB'll say: 'Hey, that's not any RFC822 header I know about', so you'll have to define it as such: Options .. Preferences .. Messages .. Message headers .. 'Add' Now you'll get a pop-up to define the header Display as: X-Rogue (or whatever, it isn't very important) RFC header: X-Rogue Uncheck: 'This field is an address list' (because it isn't) Check: 'Allow this field to be edited in the message editor' Uncheck: 'Display this field in the scrollable part of the header pane' Now you're done and every TB-user can see your lovable face when they've installed the roguemoticons. For you to see peoples faces: To get this going, you should be running TB! v2.12 or later. Fetch the following file: http://www.pcwize.com/thebat/smileys/rogues.zip Unzip it to the 'Images' directory that's in your TB! installation directory: C:\Program Files\The Bat!\Images You should now have a directory called 'rogues' containing many images as well as the file 'rogues.msl' in your Images directory. Go into the preferences, and bring up the View/Editor options. Now hit Shift-CTRL-Alt-T while TB! is in focus. This will re-fetch TB!'s smiley set from disk and load the new images.

Changes to the TB Lists
Hello all, It's with a heavy heart that we (the moderators) have finally come to a point in our lives where the TB lists have become so successful that it has begun to seriously impact our ability to lead a normal life. In our time as moderators, some of us have lost wives and girlfriends, our children, gone into debt and filed for bankruptcy. I myself was relegated to living in a cardboard box on the corner of Central and Lomas hacking my way into the nearby Starbucks wi-fi network each day so that I might continue my duties as a moderator.

For the fourth install I didn't enable AMON until after the PC booted and it works fine so far. I will re-enable 'AMON' on boot, it seems to be an important part of the package, and see how it goes.
