As I have SpamAssassin on the mail server, most of my spam gets caught and filtered that way, but I was hoping that this would catch the one or two that slip by every week. > For the last few days I've received a number of near identical > messages telling me that i need to update my system with the attached > security fix. > I know that the mail is junk and the the file is a virus. > Each copy of the message that comes in I mark as junk.

That was my impression too, and from what I've read on the lists, it has worked well for others. I also had installed the other plug-in for spam as well and that didn't work at all either. Yesterday, I uninstalled the plug-ins, cleared out the registry keys manually and reinstalled the BayesIt only. I'm going to test one at a time now. > Either I'm doing something wrong or, well, not.

I went back to the site and read all the notes on it and most likely, I did not have many (or even any) spam messages to add when I installed it the first time. The author says that initial training should include both. I therefore made the assumption that I have done something wrong. I'll give this installation a chance to work for a little while and see what happens. Sorry, I know this wasn't much help, but at least you're not alone.:) -- Regards, Terry Using The Bat! v2.01.3 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
