I'd like to quote a part from what Nick Andriash wrote about this topic on PGP-Basics: ,----- [ mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ] | I still fail to see the value of scanning incoming Mail. I run NOD32 all | the time yet I have disabled the POP3 scanning feature of this Program | because I thought it a tad redundant. I do have NAV as part of Norton | Security... which I use as a Firewall... but NAV is much too resource | intensive to use Auto-Protect, so I use NAV as a demand Scanner only. | | I do not see how I can miss any virus coming in via E-Mail, as NOD32 will | pick it up the moment I select the message. How much sooner will a POP3 | Scanner pick it up? Even if it picked it up sooner... what advantage would | it serve, and weighing the time to scan all incoming Mail plus the added | resources, were factors that I considered when turning off POP3 Scanning. `----- I agree here completely. I recently received another magistr virus. The moment I tried to save it to disk, my AVP alerted me. (Most funny, it came by the name of AOLSETUP.EXE... Who would open that??) TB! won't let me open attachments anyway - at least, not without a hassle - so I think this absolutely suffices my needs. :o) TM> Well when i try to open the message i cant , because the virus was TM> found, That's all that's necessary, isn't it? Go ahead, delete it and you're done! *S* - -- Cheers Peter Winamp currently playing: Leonard Cohen - Everybody Knows -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 6.5.8ckt Build 07 * PGP-signed for better authentication :-) * Comment: Key available at http://www.meynsweb.com/public-key.txt iQA/AwUBPLxuLwM2UgbhB3TOEQK52ACgrQ6zEc3BeD0ib164FCykKhnS+mkAoKmJ uUget1zl309timtZxJCw0Khz =gHAn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
