| 1141364 | 2010-10-03 19:53:00 | Hi, I have just realized that while I have installed and used ( I think ) ESET antivirus which as far as I can see has only picked up a few threats, in the three years I have had it. Now I wonder if the built in antivirus from xtra etc is interfering with ESET-- as I frequently get a note from xtra that it has intercepted such and such as "it may carry a virus" etc---in other words cancelling each other out. For what that is worth those that it (xtra) has stopped were quite legitimite e mails, and should not have been stopped ESET in it's own right never does this-spurious threat warnings Can anybody advise? effie c |

| 1141366 | 2010-10-03 20:32:00 | The two wont be clashing, as Xtra looks at the mail before it gets sent onto you. If they think its a virus, they will block it. They have changed their spam filters a while back, and LOTS of people are getting their mails marked as spam by the xtra filters, which are then put in the spam folder of your web mail. I've had several of my customers complain that mail that they know was sent has not arrived -- you guessed it, xtras spam filter blocked it. |

| 1141368 | 2010-10-03 21:44:00 | I would certainly keep Eset / NOD32, as it will pick up browser-based threats, thumbdrives, cds, network threats etc. As Speedy said, call Telecom and have them disable their email scanning if you feel it's getting in the way :) |

I have only had one false positive from gmail but from what I have seen the yahoo xtra spam filter is more trouble than it is worth. Like you I have had several people wondering where their emails have got to. |
