Definition wise yes but. I have AV 2000 on this machine and it seems to deal strangely with this virus. It stores temp files on disk and that trigger AV pop ups to annoying extremes as 100s of popups happen as part of the folder filter process. Nothing is infected but it is annoying. I imagine any virus embeded email is safe with the_bat Also if you know of any substitute SMTP programs I might use to filter out such viruses or worm as in this case! My ultimate solution was to turn off auto protect and receive the mail then I looked for .pif attachments and found one with subject: Re: Documents I then both tried the removal to verify no infection took place and sure enough none occurred. I then truned back on auto-protect. -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
