Well, however it all works, or doesn't as the case may be, I can at
least say this. I've gotten tons of trojans and viruses sent to me
via email, and not a single one infected my system. I don't think
they could have really gotten past TB with it made the way it is,
but it never even got that far. Between Norton and ZAP, they both
monitor and nail anything that even comes close to my system. I
don't even have to think about it, they just automatically
quarantine the stuff. I think TB could handle more features without
becoming too much of a security risk. Hell, I also keep a copy of,
God help me for admitting this, Incredimail on my system! Yeah, In
know, it's wide open for attack by its nature, but still nothing
gets through. I even get confused when people on mailing lists
start talking about 'that darned virus' because I'd never noticed
anything had happened. Oh, and I use Incredimail for the fun stuff
it can do, in case you were wondering about my mental health. :)
Hey, it *does* have some pretty nifty features.
