Dear fellow TBUDL members, I've just switched from using Sunset Kerio firewall, which was giving problems, to using the AVG firewall - chosen partly on the grounds that it would complement the AVG anti-virus software I already used. I chose to use the AVG Internet Security Home Edition plugin which in my case is located in Program Files\Grisoft\AVG7\avgtbas.tbp
Since installing it, I've had intermittent problems with The Bat! In essence, TB seems to get gummed up when importing mail which has apparently been both downloaded and checked by AVG. But, like all the 'best' problems, this one doesn't always happen. I've not always been able to close the downloading component. In one case, trying to do that using Task Manager resulted in TM itself getting stuck. It appears as though the screen isn't then refreshing too. Usually, though, I have been able to use TM to close TB. When I have been able to close the dispatch manager to abort its tasks, I was intrigued to see the a nice message offering to 'try to shut down gracefully in 60 sec' with a countdown: but when it gets to 0 TB program itself seems to stop responding. After restarting TB, all works for a while; then the Connection Centre sticks on storing incoming messages apparently already downloaded and scanned. This applies for some, but not always all, accounts. After the close down count mentioned above, TB stops responding and has to be stopped using Task Manager. Have other people had similar problems - and, if so, found a solution? It looks as if I'm going to have to stop AVG scanning messages received by TB and revert to my manual inspection of headers. -- Eric Using TB! v3.99.3 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.99.24 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
