Kim I don't know if you're aware but you can download an evaluation copy of Kaspersky Personal Pro which includes The Bat! AV plugin and use it with your existing KAV key. This will allow you to use KAV's AV plugin with TB! (but not give you access to the other Pro features such as network drive scanning etc.) Download from www.kaspersky.com <snipped some more> K> Also, by deleting the Bat temp file I'd mentioned above, how much K> e-mail can I expect to lose?

Not good. :( TB! mails go into the temp directory from the mail server - that's where KAV without the plugin holds them if there's a virus involved. With the plugin you set KAV realtime scanner not to scan mail folders - but you install the KAV AV plugin via TB!'s "virus protection" option and this looks after your mail downloads. You can set KAV to dump any virus mails into a "Quarantine" folder in the Kaspersky program folder, to "Delete" them immediately, or to clean the infected parts etc... You can also use the plugin to scan mail folders separately on demand. It's worth considering as it works extremely well.
