I've power off and on and got no warning message anymore. Maybe TB! developers could find something new to improve next TB! releases regarding the interaction with AV programs. By the way, Kaspersky anti-spam is set to TB! without issues so far.

Taking your suggested steps didn't modify the situation. Whenever Kaspersky is activated the AVConfig.INI changes and include the configuration that brings the pop up DLL AVV screen. In short, I believe this should be necessary somehow to TheBat! In this case, IMHO, it should be transparent to the user and not showing. It is not something that harms the use of the product but could work in background, no matter if the user choose to use TB! AV plugin or not. Likewise the UAC control. There are opinions against and for it and, again, IMHO, I think it should be modeled in order to prevent the user to give authorization all the time.

> Is Kaspersky changing TB! AVConfig.INI without being asked for? I think you should make sure Kaspersky is NOT running when you edit its INI-file. It might be saving its marbles when you tell Windows to shut down - hence, your manual edits are wiped. Try to edit the INI-file and save the changes - then note the time stamp. Then wait for some 5 minutes and shut down Windows. Note the time of the shut down. Wait another few minutes and turn the machine back on - now, what's the time stamp of the INI-file? Compare the file stamp with the times of shut down and startup. -- St Current version is 4.2.12.4 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I think it would be a problem if I try to modify a file inside Program Files. Anyway, considering I am trying every suggestion, I went to DOS as administrator and changed AVConfig.INI one more time. Turned off and on again and got the same message of KAV DLL being popped up. Kaspersky has no files available, at least of my knowledge, that can be editable. All stuff is made from the GUI and looks fine, I mean, the TB! plugin is not marked but only POP/SMTP/... has the item checked "x".

HO> Anyway, you can try to edit the ini file containing the Plugin info: HO> yourpath\MAIL\AVConfig.INI Yes, I went to the folder c:\users\tijuco\appdata\roaming\the bat I've copied AVConfig.INI to old_AVConfig_INI_file (backup just in case). I've edited it using nano editor (ascii) as you told, saved and called again TB! Nothing was pop up about the dll message. Then I turned computer off and then on again, calling TheBat... and then... SURPRISE ... The pop up message about dll avv kav.bav WAS THERE AGAIN... LOL I went again to the same path and edited the same AVConfig.INI. It was the same as before. So I conclude that there exists another file which is mandatory over this AVConfig.INI, maybe some entry in the Windows Register or even something inside TheBat! compiled program. Anyway, I've opened a ticket to TheBat! support team. Maybe next update they can give a way out to this issue and to the problem with UAC on Windows7 (I am running Windows 7 with UAC turned off).

Re: DLL AVV in (kav.bav)
I'm also running Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 and followed the instructions given for disabling the pop-up (by settings in both KAV and The Bat!). After I closed and re-started The Bat!, like you the dll pop-up was still there, and the changes I made in The Bat! were not set. So I re-did them in The Bat!, closed the program and restarted and all was well -- no pop-up, and the changes I made were still OK. Just to be sure, I closed and re-started and everything was still fine. And still is now. My guess is that you need to make the KAV changes while The Bat! is not running. So just make sure the KAV changes are still OK, and then try re-doing the changes in The Bat! Worked for me. Mark Tuesday, January 19, 2010, 9:18:18 AM, Cesar Santos wrote: {snip} > Oops...

Normally, the Kasperky settings allow you to monitor the POP3/IMAP/SMTP port and will find malware during download. If this fails, it is not an harm. If you receive an infected .doc in your inbox, and if you try to open it, the .doc file will be written on the harddisk in your temporary folder.
