Does someone know if a more recent > version has been realeased ? I won't be of any help regarding your question (I know though that Panda AV is a pretty good program)... I just wonder if it is really necessary to have an antivirus plugin for (any) email program. AFAIK most of the modern AV programs either watch incoming traffic on the socket layer and catch (any) virus content, either by email or malicious websites that way, or they offer at least a local virus scanning proxy. I myself am not using either. I even excluded TB's mail directories from the on-access scanner for performance reasons. The on-demand scanner will scan TB's mail archive's anyway during my weekly scan. And if I ever should accidentally choose to save a virus attachment to disk (which is hardly going to happen since my system is protect by my brain, too), the on-access scanner will catch the file, then. Am I missing something or putting myself at larger risk of a virus infection? Am I just not seeing it? -- Best regards, Alexander Every tomorrow has two handles.
