You update your AV TF> program, try to access your folder and plop - it's gone. The whole TF> folder. I'm not sure I understand this. It can stay in the message base forever and will do no harm unless you activate it. Why do you lose anything when you update your AV program? If I did lose my messages (for whatever reason) I'd click on Mailbag Assistant www.fookes.com TF> That's the reason I don't let any AV software delete files. Nor do I - I delete any infected email manually, as soon as NOD flags it. Am I missing something here? Don't forget the POP part of NOD is only a 'gate-keeper'. If I were to do something silly, like open an unexpected attachment, AMON would catch it. If my approach is too simplistic, please tell me. -- Regards William www.residues.info Flying with The Bat! www.ritlabs.com/the_bat Windows 2000 Pro 2195 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
