Hi: Since v1.60 of TB has opened up the possibility of scanning e-mails via plug-ins I was wondering if that approach is preferable to having them scanned externally. I just recently switched from NAV 2002 to NOD32 (www.nod32.com) and really adore the program with regard to its phenomenal speed and stability. Unfortunately, the POP3 scanner of NOD32 produces temporary files that have to be deleted manually. I have contacted the company and been promised that this flaw is going to be fixed within the scope of an upcoming release. Before opting for NOD32 I also checked out KAV 4 and found it to be extremely sluggish on my 733 MHz Pentium III so that I ditched it immediately. NAV 2002, just like NOD32, uses an external scanner to scan incoming e-mails. The developers of NOD32 recently told me that they have no plans to create a NOD32 plug-in for TB, because they strongly favor their external approach. The downside to this is obviously that outgoing e-mails won't be scanned since it's only a POP3 scanner. On the other hand, if the automatic anti-virus montior, "AMON" in NOD32's case, is enabled, there's really no need to scan outgoing e-mails. Thus it seems that we're at a crossroads of sorts, where some anti-virus companies like Kaspersky will support TB via a plug-in, some like Eset won't and some like Symantec are still undecided. Which approach do y'all prefer?
