Here's a heads-up for users of NOD32 anti-virus and The Bat!. NOD32's technical support people confirmed to me that NOD32's on-demand scanner cannot scan inside The Bat's messages.tbb data files and therefore cannot spot infected e-mails. However, NOD32's IMON module scans all POP3 traffic and will likely catch any viruses as they arrive. In addition, its AMON module would likely catch any attempt to save, copy or execute the virus file.
Having said that, a situation could arise where I receive an infected e-mail which NOD32's IMON module does not yet recognize (as happened to me last week with the Fuclip.A worm). That infected e-mail would sit undiscovered in my inbox despite several NOD32 on-demand scans. Since NOD32's IMON module does not scan outgoing mail, I could unwittingly forward it to, and infect, an unsuspecting recipient. To their credit, NOD32's technical support people have been very responsive and helpful. I have no intention of switching to another anti-virus application; NOD32 is the best I've come across so far. Check out the NOD32 discussion thread I started at http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=163149 and support a fix for this problem. It would also be great if any Bat programmers monitoring this list would contact NOD32 technical support and lend a hand with a fix so these two great programs work together better. -- Code 2 :canadaflag: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Bat! version 2.12.00 on Windows XP Service Pack 2 On a New York convalescent home: For the sick and tired of the Episcopal Church ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.95.08 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
