Hello Thomas, <.....>
T>> At that time the other part of your AV should kick in. TF> The AV should kick in when I ask it. That's how I have set it: It I do TF> want to open an attachment, I ask the doctor (PC-Cillin): Does this TF> file contain a virus? I *will* forget to ask the doctor for sure :( That's why I have set everything to automatic. T>> But I don't like that solution because I want to kill the virus asap. TF> I do that with the <del> key. But only after you started reading your incoming mail. As you said there is no problem opening a virus mail on a non MS client. I'm on other high volume lists where a large percentage uses Outlook (express) All people with good intentions. But sometimes a virus pops up. The sender just forwarded an infected mail to the list. I know it's a 'that happens once in a lifetime' example. My point is just that IMO it the duty of every Internet user is to stop spreading viruses the best s/he can. Even if her/his own system is immune to it. T>> And I don't like TB! forcing me to change AV. TF> It isn't. You only need to adjust your settings to your environment TF> and your desired behaviour. -- Best regards, Tony Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
