From a fellow user, these thoughts: The Klez-H and Elkern worm attacks destroyed my sister's computer in the spring of 2002, no matter that she was running Norton AV. Came in through the vulnerable (at that time) Outlook Express preview pane. That is exactly what brought me, a home user and almost a novice in computing, to The Bat! I think that you are preaching to the choir here on TBUDL. While some of the RitLabs team do read and post to this list from time to time, they keep a far closer eye on TBBETA. Would you consider subscribing there (if you haven't already) and raising this topic on TBUDL'S sister list? The team is very heavily engaged in getting out a revision of the latest release right now, but one or another of them is reading and posting there several times a week. From what all of them, including the apparent highest decision makers say, they are trying very hard to make a viable corporate-world commercial product. They're just quite low on communication and marketing expertise! As I'm sure all of my fellow listers will concur. And possibly even view my last statement above as the understatement of the year!! -- Best regards, Mary :Trill: The Bat! 3.0.2.10 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
