The essence of this change is that now antivirus monitor won't block receiving of POP3 messages if you have antivirus plugin installed. The monitor and the plugin will be able to co-exist, you won't be forced to turn off the monitor. The Bat! when recieving files via POP3 did store them to TMP directory and then did import them to the message base. The method of storing files to TMP did allow resident file monitors to locate viruses in these TMP files before they go to the message base. This prevents the monitor to lock the message base. But this also might stall the process of receiving messages. The Bat! did create a TMP file, wrote contents to it, closed the file, and then opened it again and passed the contents to the antivirus plugin. Now it doesn't close the file, and passes the file contents to the plugin while the file is open. Kaspersky antivirus monitor doesn't check the file contents until the file is closed. So passing the file contents to the antivirus plugin does prevent the monitor from scanning the file and interrupting the mail process. This technique may work not only with Kaspersky but with other antivirus as well. -- Best regards, Maxim Masiutin mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.61.03 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
