The Bat! plugin
« on: April 17, 2009, 09:52:39 AM »
I am a long term user of Avast for Home (currently on Vista) and have been using The Bat! email client for about a year.

Yesterday I was installing Avast for Home on my wife's new notebook and I noticed there was a plugin for The Bat!. I don't see this as an option on my own Avast installation and this raises a couple of questions:

1. I have searched the main Avast website and failed to find a way to downlaod the Bat! plugin - can someone give me an url?
2. Why doesn't my Avast install detect the presence of The Bat!

Regards

Will

There is not a plugin to be downloaded. You need to change your installation:
Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > avast! antivirus > Change
Check 'The Bat' option there.

Re 2. I though that it did, in the same way that it detects that MS Outlook is installed and enables the Outlook/Exchange provider. So I don't know why it didn't detect the presence of the Bat.

Thanks for that...it appears to have done the trick.

Yeah, that's what I thought would have happened. As it was I have been using TBat! somewhat nervously without full protection.
