AVG Virus checker and TB
I have only just joined the list. I have downloaded avgbat9us.exe but cannot get it to work. I keep getting the message that my version (1.62) of TB is obsolete and I need version 1.60 or later. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem? Thank you, Hilton M Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello hmeyer, h I have only just joined the list. Welcome Hilton :) You're going to love this ;) h I have downloaded avgbat9us.exe but cannot get it to work. Is that the Avast Anti-Virus? You can get it from here http://www.webattack.com/newapp.php?id=105009 It was just released on 12/07/2002 and I believe this is one of the Anti-Virus software programs that work hand in hand with TB. h Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?

Good afternoon hmeyer, It was foretold that on 8-12-2002 @ 22:09:10 GMT+1300 (which was 10:09:10 where I live) hmeyer would mumble: snipped a bit h I have downloaded avgbat9us.exe but cannot get it to work. Can h anyone suggest a solution to this problem? Have you installed it manually or have you run the installation package? You might give it a try to install it manually: open in TB! the menu Options/Virus Protection, click on Add and External Plug-in, locate in the AVG program directory a file with .BAV extension and press Open.

AFAIR similar tests in German computer magazines the number for AVG seems right, although Kaspersky and NAV usually don't score that high - virtually no virus scanner does. that's why F-Secure uses two (three) *different* scan engines. BTW, Norton gets always highest marks for its interface and usability for newbies, but lacks behind in detection and speed. -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de http://Interest.Write4U.de/pongo PGP keys available: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.61 on Windows 95 4.0 1212 C Second Marriage: Another instance of the triumph of hope over experience.

Jim, it's nice to see someone thanking others as you do, but for one it is not necessary - I think we all agree that thanks is - most of the time - implicit.
