There's evidence to show that this may not be a good thing. Chris Weaven posted earlier about getting this strange popup error when NOD32's plugin checked incoming attachments. No other NOD32 user who read his post, had ever experienced it, or knew the source of the problem. I continued to help him with the problem off-list and he mentioned by the way, that he was also using the AVG plug-in at the same time. This turned out to be the source of his problem. At the DrWeb plug-in download page they also recommend that you remove other plug-ins though they didn't explicitly state which other earlier installed plug-ins. I'm really not sure if a single check can be smoothly performed by multiple plug-ins. This would be so only if it is done in series and not at the same time.

You could conceivably use multiple scanners to do different things. You could have one check incoming mail, another check attachments while they are being saved or opened and another check outgoing mail. Though you may succeed in having two plugins check one area together it just might create conflicts as it did in Cris' case. Perhaps the conflict is secondary to buggy behaviour rather than a genuine conflict that can't be resolved. I really am not sure. - -- Allie C Martin \ TB! v1.62/Beta6 & WinXP Pro (SP1) List Moderator / PGP Key - http://pub-key.ac-martin.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1-cvs (Win32) - GPGshell v2.60 iD8DBQE9sWUyV8nrYCsHF+IRAmwMAJ4xRivAii2LXLFdKVXG7ReEJx2mAACfS7UI fv53tFuQYmc+v71fZitHoA4= =BH24 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
