Dear Dick,
D> Please accept my apologies for my ignorance but why should you need a
D> NOD32 plug-in while this AV program already scans the incoming
D> messages from your pop3 server?
The (infamous) Help already explains:
- Only insecure (non-TLS) connections can be monitored
- AV software has to check any message passing through its filters
(while The Bat! may check files only they are saved or executed),
thus the process of mail retrieval gets significantly slower,
overall system performance may go down
- PGP/MIME and S/MIME encrypted messages cannot be checked
- IMAP connections are not monitored in most cases
- If a virus was received before the AV software has updated its
database, there is no way to remove the virus from the message
base unless the AV software is familiar with the message base
format (if a message base in encrypted, it is impossible to remove
viruses from there anyway)
- There can be a problem in AV software when several accounts are
checked simultaneously (in other words, most AV packages only
support one connection at a time).
- Most AV software requires quite uncomfortable changes to the
configuration of e-mail clients
