What protection can I get from AVAST HOME when receiving files/pictures on mSN. How can I do that?
Thanks

MSN Messenger? Just make sure you have Instant Messaging Shield provider installed and you’re done.

Well using the Instant Messenger provider should cover anything downloaded by MSN IM.

Thanks to both BUT
If I click on TOOLS>OPTIONS>FILETRANSFER(In MSN) I am given the option of naming the file that would intercept any virus. Are you saying that I can leave that entry BLANK and as long as I have the SHIELD set properly It will block any virus
I sure appreciate all your help
Thanks

The scanning file is ashquick.exe

You are already protected but you can name the entry

C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe

anyway. Some additional protection won’t hurt you anyway.
