It's caught every one here so far and I get a lot of them sent my way...except those that are attached to nested messages. Klez uses this method as well and it also happens simply as a result of using your email address to mail somehwhere that bounces 'your' message back to you. Nasty little thing that Klez is. > I am not quick to "open" unknown > items but I also don't want to jump from what appears to > be protective to perhaps a not-so-protective AV program, or do I > totally misunderstand what they are saying? I use two -- Panda and AVG. I use AVG only because of Klez and the fact that Panda can't scan TB messages for some reason. I could get by without it for sure. But it's nice to have those hundreds and hundreds of Klez messages filtered for me automatically. Plus, AVG is the only other scanner besides Panda that I have used that doesn't miss something. I am not referring to this nested message business. Rather, I mean if I put 50 collected viruses in a folder and scan them with several AV apps, only AVG and Panda have caught them all. Those others that people seem so enamored with miss things left and right here. > Elaine -- Best regards, James [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stamp-co.com The Bat! v.1.62/Beta1 Windows XP build 2600 AMD Athlon 1Ghz 512 MB RAM ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
