I have Personal Edition V. 4.0.5. The Monitor doesn't have any email settings that I can see. There is a separate "AntiVirus Email Checker" component with different settings than those you describe. The user can't configure the email checker directly in my version. You have to do it through the Outlook Tools menu even though you don't use Outlook as your email client. (one of several braindead features of Kaspersky's overall design!) But it seems to know how to find the active client. I get a Kaspersky logo next to the tray (WinXP) while downloading mail. I haven't noticed any download speed problems, but I am using TB 1.62r. -- Stan Robins Mendota Heights, MN Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat, 1.62r www.ritlabs.com ************* "Golf and sex are the only two things you can enjoy without being good at either of 'em!" -- Jimmy Demaret ************* ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.00 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
