That did help. It wasn't my answer but it got me started in the right direction. I used that info and *tweaked* it a bit. As briefly as possible, here is what I did... I set TB's filter exactly as shown at that URL except I added the HIDDEN option on the actions tab and modified paths to suit my system. I wrote my own batch file so it would basically do what I wanted with AVG. Here is my batch file (scan.bat) which I keep in my AVG folder. It's refered to in the "run external program" box. --- copy C:\winxp\temp\av\*.* C:\winxp\temp\av\temp\*.* PING 1.1.1.1 -n 2 -w 1000 >NUL del c:\winxp\temp\av\temp\*.* /q del c:\winxp\temp\av\*.* /q --- -line 1 simply tries to copy the files that The Bat extracted from "AV" to "AV\TEMP". This allows AVG's resident scan engine to detect any virus present and display a window. -line 2 is the only way I could find to create a pause in a batch file. Without the pause, things went so quickly that it could only detect the first virus if there were multiples. -lines 3 & 4 are just cleanup. To state the obvious...Winxp is my windows folder. I created the "AV" folder within the standard Windows temp folder and the "TEMP" folder within it. You can use whatever folders you like but the paths must be changed accordingly. My "AV" folder is refered to in the "extract attached files to the specified directory" box under the actions tab. I had tried following the directions from the above URL to setup the DOS version of AVG to scan the files, but there were problems with errors and it took forever to load the program for each run. It required a separate run for each E-mail with attachments. Good luck if anyone else wants to give it a try. It should work this way with ANY virus scanner as long as you have it set to scan files on access. One final question...is it possible for a virus to activate with a simple copy command if there is no resident scanner active? -- Scott Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
