One more thing - a Thunderbird setting tweak.

There's a setting in Thunderbird that lets SAV (or other AV) grab only the infected message rather than the whole Inbox file.

Tools->Options->Security->Anti-Virus tab:

Check "Allow antivirus clients to quarantine individual incoming messages".

I'm still getting trojan attempts, and SAV still takes forever when it finds one, but at least it's not grabbing the whole Inbox now.

Cheers,
Scott.

Well that's annoying. Lost my Inbox... - (Another Scott) - (26) - Aug. 22, 2010, 02:34:06 PM EDT

Any way to tell it not to scan the mail files? - (scoenye) - (6) - Aug. 22, 2010, 03:06:56 PM EDT

^^^^ GREAT ADVICE! ^^^^ -NT - (folkert) - Aug. 22, 2010, 03:11:43 PM EDT

Probably. - (Another Scott) - (4) - Aug. 22, 2010, 04:10:44 PM EDT

So why aren't you using PMMail then? - (Andrew Grygus) - (1) - Aug. 22, 2010, 06:11:37 PM EDT

I needed Kerberos authentication. - (Another Scott) - Aug. 22, 2010, 06:35:57 PM EDT

Got it fixed. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Aug. 22, 2010, 08:39:28 PM EDT

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. -NT - (Another Scott) - Aug. 23, 2010, 07:47:12 PM EDT

Time to wave farewell to W2K, I think. -NT - (pwhysall) - (5) - Aug. 23, 2010, 06:53:54 PM EDT

If it ain't broke... - (Another Scott) - Aug. 23, 2010, 07:57:08 PM EDT

Where would you suggest next? - (static) - (2) - Aug. 23, 2010, 08:07:38 PM EDT

Based on recent experience, I'd say Linux Mint. - (pwhysall) - (1) - Aug. 24, 2010, 01:25:26 AM EDT

From what I've seen at Helios... - (folkert) - Aug. 24, 2010, 05:25:32 AM EDT
