They don't strip the attachments but they move the whole message into a quarantine folder - clearly marked and there's no chance of accidental execution. You can have it set to remove and purge in 0 days. I'd rather not have attachments auto-stripped. I've seen the dangers of false positives at first hand and there has to be a way to get back. The plug-ins certainly do notify though. No problem with that. I think it's worthwhile using the plug-in because the virus never has to actually exist as an external file on your hard drive (I always keep attachments in-line and *not* in an external folder. Much safer and easier to handle). > ... I don't see a quarantine folder like the one you described.

It is the latter, I guess. I don't see such activity from AVG. If any infections are found, you'll get an "alert" message box come up and the infected message gets moved to the Quarantine folder. The folder isn't even created until a virus is found. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.
