Which simply means that the virus code is sitting somewhere in one of TBs messagebase files - in a form that is NOT executable and can't do ANY harm until you decide to manually save the virus code to disk - at this very moment the normal filesystem realtime protection kicks in and quarantines the file. You don't get a chance to execute the virus code. > It also didn't remove the virus after the complete scan. You would have to delete the infected message from the TB messagebase file that contains it. But again - it can't do any harm there! > Do I have to go back to NAV? No way. Viruses are a threat, but NAV is the plague! Rest assured that you don't need an extra virus scanner module/plugin/whatever for emails - as long as you have A: a brain that hinders you from saving malicious attachments to disk (and you do have a brain, or else you wouldn't use TB!) - as long as the virus code is in the TB messagebase, it is NOT a threat - and B: a working filesystem realtime protection - just in case A ever fails - with up-to-date virus signatures. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de) There was a door to which I found no key; there was a veil past which I could not see.
