| 175807 | 2003-09-16 10:15:00 | have read lots about A.V.G. and it's all good except that if you don't use MS (i use netscape) your email is not scanned - is there a solution to this?- without of course using another programme - some one help please? | jayal (1291) | ||
| 175808 | 2003-09-16 10:44:00 | If a Virus came in as an attachment on an e-mail, AVG (like all others) should get it the moment you try to run/launch/open the attachment. Thats fairly standard behaviour for AV programs, I personally don't see the need for it to try and grab it from within the e-mail application itself. If its a new Virus that isn't recognised by the AV program, it will not make the slightest difference which way it scans it. It will still miss. If you are in doubt, download the Eicar test Virus. Its an industry standard test, its just a text string - not a real virus - that will prove the actions of your AV program. |
