MM> removing file is not correct behaviour, if scanner can't check the file. The correct way is to let the AV scan the file, so I agree with Alto. And you cannot instruct the user how to set their AV if they want to install an email-client. MM> What will be next? Antivir will format drive if partition can't be MM> checked? AV software will be useless if developers choose to make their software unscannable. Users will just stop using AV software or - more likely - choose software that does not cause any problems with the AV scanner. Do you really expect the average user to tweak their computer and AV scanner before installing The Bat!? Don't you think they will rather choose another email software? Do you think they will be happy to hear that it is their own fault if TB! has been deleted after they updated their virus scaner? Just asking. I wonder why you think this is acceptable. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 4.1.11 under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.1.14.1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
