I have the AVG plug-in installed. It does flash up a window briefly for me, saying it's there, when I launch The Bat!
I went to the Kaspersky website and posted a query. Got a message back by e-mail saying that Kaspersky advises not to have more than one AV program installed on a machine, because multiple AV programs can interfere with proper operation of the AV programs. I am a Bat newbie, and this is my first post to this list. I don't know how to make a signature that shows what I am running, so will just put it here in the text: Running The Bat! version 1.61 on Windows 95B, on Compaq 4540 with 32 MB of RAM. Maybe someone else can answer the rest of your questions. I would like to know the answer to them, also.
