Hello TBUDL,
I'm using:
The Bat! 4.24 Professional with Avast 4.8 Home Edition Build: Feb2009
(4.8.1355) and Avast's The Bat! plugin.
As a rule I use Avast's The Bat! AV plugin for scanning incoming and
outgoing messages. However, the plugin seems to have stopped working. In
TB!'s account logs I see:
--begin--
22/06/2009, 18:37:38: FETCH - Received message from nos...@address.co.uk,
size: 1079 bytes, subject: Subject Here
22/06/2009, 18:37:38: ANTIVIRUS - Examining the incoming POP3 mail message for
viruses
22/06/2009, 18:37:38: ANTIVIRUS - No antivirus plugins are installed to check
the object for viruses
--end--
and
--begin--
22/06/2009, 18:35:43: SEND - sending mail message(s) - 1 message(s) in queue
22/06/2009, 18:35:43: ANTIVIRUS - Checking for viruses outgoing message from
nos...@address.co.uk to fri...@theiraddress.co.uk, size: 679, date: Monday,
June 22, 2009 6:35:43 PM, subject: Friendly Subject
22/06/2009, 18:35:43: ANTIVIRUS - No antivirus plugins are installed to check
the object for viruses
--end--
However, the latest Avast plugin for The Bat! is correctly installed and
configured! I've reinstalled the plugin manually, and via Avast's installer.
Still no success.
I also did a manual Virus check of one account and folder tree from within
The Bat! to see what happened then and this was the result:
--begin--
The anti-virus has reported an error, the object cannot be checked for viruses
The anti-virus has reported an error, the object cannot be checked for viruses
The anti-virus has reported an error, the object cannot be checked for viruses
The anti-virus has reported an error, the object cannot be checked for viruses
The anti-virus has reported an error, the object cannot be checked for viruses
The anti-virus has reported an error, the object cannot be checked for viruses
Checking finished. Found 1131 infected messages out of 1131 checked ones.
--end--
The above result occurs for any accounts and folders within The Bat! The
messages
are _not_ infected however.
It would seem that the Avast plugin just isn't compatible with the latest
version of The Bat! Maybe it could be something to do with the recent
message base changes? What do you think?
At the moment I have switched to Avast's Internet Mail on access scanner and
removed the Avast plugin. Does anyone else use Avast's The Bat! plugin? Have
you noticed these problems? There are no warnings to give you any indication
that the problem exists, other than when checking account logs and manually
doing a virus check within TB!
