Can you configure your AV software so that it won't scan TB's temporary directory? That will stop the "Realtime Scan" popups when TB writes its temporary files on retrieving messages from the server. (the path would be "C:\Documents.bla...\Darrin\Local.bla...\Temp", according to your screenshot) Furthermore, if you disable the mail scanner of the AV, you won't see the mailscan popup either. That may sound dangerous at first, but I dare say that mail scanners are for extremely paranoid people. And for users of an unpatched system, of course. :-) Think about it: 1. you're using TB. Its not vulnerable to the security hole that Netsky tries to exploit (nor to any other security hole that I know of) 2. TB will warn you if you try to open the attachment, because its an .exe 3. the realtime scanner of the AV will kick in anyway if you open/save the attachment. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) using TB! v3.0.2.10 Home on Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 I have just got scent of some fossil bones of a mammoth; what they may be I do not know, but if gold will get them, they shall be mine. -- Charles Darwin ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
