The AV plugin will not activate if the regional settings of the server define a date format different from the standard "English" date (mm/dd/yyyy). My server is running "German (Switzerland)" (dd.mm.yyyy), that's why the AV plugin will not activate.

Roberto and I have verified this and he is working on a fix for this problem as I type

Mikek,

That would explain everything... Only a valid activation code will"trigger" the display below, we do not have any "invalid code" noticesand similar yet. If you can please forward us the email you receivedfrom our website with the code we'll try to understand why it's notworking for you.

Roberto,
Glad to hear that a fix is on the way. Since user level is low I donehave near the worries that the bigger user might have. So far the sincethat last reboot after lockup, the plugin has caught 30 infected files.Mcafee has stopped 52 files from the Plugin tmp files.

Other than that the plugin is working as it should. CPU/Memory/HD activity all are bearly noticable.

Total blocked emails since reboot is 5370.

No emails infected with virus's have been pasted on to the pop server so it is working.

Looking forward to knowing what it is going to cost for the subscription from Norman.

Just FYI... not a SpamFilter problem, but something you need to be aware of.

The email containing the activation code can apparently be corrupted by Microsoft Outlook.  I installed the new beta earlier today, and requested the activation code through the online form.  The activation code email that was sent to me appeared to have the code split across two lines.  My first thought was that it was just a line-wrap issue, so I just concatenated the two lines manually... this didn't work.

Finally, after trying several other measures, I requested another activation code, but this time opened it in a Web Mail client (non-Microsoft).  The activation code displayed properly, and the problem became clear.

For some reason, Outlook is breaking-up the activation code after the 72nd character.  On the next line, the first 12 characters of the activation code are REPEATED, followed by the remaining few characters of the activation code.

Again, this isn't a LogSat or SpamFilter problem, it's an Outlook issue... and may even be more specific than that, it might only be CERTAIN VERSIONS of Outlook, I don't know.  But if anyone else is seeing this same issue (the activation code split across two lines, with the first 12 characters repeated on both lines) you might consider using a different mail client to get the activation code.

mikek,

The plugin will not initialize until a valid activation code has beenentered. Once you paste the activation code and click on "Activate",you should see some status "stuff" appearing below the "Activate"button, and only after that happened the AV plugin is loaded. Can youdescribe what happens after you click on the Activate button?

The C:\NRMTEMP folder idea didn't work. I think that this is somethingNorman will have to build into the plugin. As I stated in an earlierpost, it would be best if the plugin kept it's files in it's directoryrather then use the system root. Currently no matter what drive youinstall Spamfilter on the AV plugin will still write it's temp files tothe system root.

The fact that the plugin write a infected file to the drive bothers me.The fact that it is writing to the system root scares me to the pointof considering dropping the beta until this is fixed.

George,

That is why the AV plugin is a beta, because it's being tested to getrid of all the problems/bugs. We agree that the issue you reported is a(big) problem, and we're working with Norman for a fix. During the last24 hours we poinpointed the problem and are preparing a fix. If allgoes well we should have it ready within the next 6-24 hours.
