Well won't that conflict with NAV. NAV creates a pseudo-server to process
your email. When/how does ZA rename attachments? Is this done "after" it
reaches the email program?

TIA,
Carol

|It will work well together, if you configure it. The virus portion of ZA
|is not really a antivirus program. It mainly works on attachments,
|renaming them so that they cannot be executed. This is sometimes a help
|when you get a attachment that is not repairable by Norton or the other
|programs, and is sent to quarantine. It renames the extension to a x.zxx
|form, that is not executable. That way if you forget that it is in
|quarantine, it is still not a problem, as you cannot run it.
