Hi Tony,

Strange coincidence. Yesterday I booted and connected to my ISP and my PC-Cillin security suite (V7) popped up a message in the corner saying something like "Incoming virus detected, your network connectivity has been frozen" It sounds like a similar concept?

Perhaps you would like to check out the Trend Micro site and see what they have to say about that feature?

The concept is older though. For some years I have had a tool called "mail control" (by Yariv Kaplan, I think)..........all it does is monitor for mailing programs (any PoP3) and asks you to manually approve their being sent. Sort of, you sent an e-mail, and it asks for confirmation before it lets it out.

I also seem to recall that the old Aladdin Industries AV software did something similar with both viruses and e-mail. I think that they were the first to bring in a "sand box" as well?

Cheers
