Advice please. I think a look at your email headers might reveal the answer. I use Avast here rather than AVG and emails fetched by Netfetch all (whether stored in Messenger or Pluto) contain the following in the headers: X-Antivirus: avast! (VPS 120815-3, 15/08/2012), Inbound message X-Antivirus-Status: Clean Furthermore on rare occasions when Avast has identified emails being loaded via Netfetch as having dangerous attachments it has sounded an audio warning and a warning message has appeared on top of the VA screen inviting me to deal with the suspect mail. I doubt if the message apparently from a friend which you mention in another post would be flagged if it wasn't actually carrying a virus so as always vigilance is needed. -- Brian Jordan Virtual RPC-AdjustSA RISC OS 6.20
