I run The Bat! e-mail client so that I don't HAVE to run ANY anti-virus BS. Any anti-virus steals 12-20% of system resources and slows down system performance. I know ALL avenues of virus propagation, and simply delete them on sight. I can't understand all this anal-retentiveness about stopping a virus from getting into a mailbox that is IMMUNE to same! I also have any known means of "contamination" via a browser disabled as well. UNFORTUNATELY my ISP now has STRONG anti-virus e-mail protection, and I have not received ANYTHING viral in the last 3 months! I have had to establish a second external account just so that I can continue to RECEIVE them to do research on virus matters! In conclusion and _IMHO_, anyone running e-mail virus scanning on Bat! mail is severely paranoid. Either that, or they are uninformed as to what virus-capable extensions are, in which case they then may need it as a crutch. Otherwise, why bother? TB! will give you more than adequate warning if you even attempt to do something dangerous. If you ignore the warnings, you deserve what you get ;-) To me, it's like booby-trapping an H-bomb with another H-bomb! /soapbox -- Warmest tropical wishes, Spike -------------------------------------------------- Get a PERMANENT 100MB capacity mailbox for ONLY $29.95/year.
