This comment deserves a response here. Most anti-virus programs come with incoming/outgoing message monitoring, of which Kapersky anti-virus is no exception. In fact, all the antivirus programs for which there are TB! plugin, do have incoming/outgoing mail monitoring support. Why have the plugin then? - The plug-in will scan mail received and sent over encrypted connections. Once you use an encrypted connection such as SSL/TLS, this makes monitoring with antivirus proxies useless. The use of encrypted connections is becoming more and more popular these days. - The plugin allows you to place infected messages in a quarantine folder. This makes it dead easy to locate the infected message when it's received. If you're away from the machine and return, the Quarantine folder count reflects what has happened in your absence. - You can add a footer or header to the message body saying what virus was found. Not all antivirus monitors will do this when an infected message is detected. - You can delete/attempt cure of the infected attachment. - You can delete the message. - You can send an autoresponse message if you like. -- -= Allie =- ..... It is bad luck to be superstitious. __________________________________________________ The Bat!� v3.0.1.33 - IMAP mail ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
