 Some virus scanners include a firewall/Internet security component. If you use one of these, then you need to be prepared to configure the firewall to allow VPOP3 to act as a service for your network. We cannot provide support for this (except for the standard Windows firewall) as part of our free email support service. You should contact your antivirus/firewall vendor for help, or use one of [[http://www.pscs.co.uk/helpdesk/purchase.php|our paid support options]]. Some virus scanners include a firewall/Internet security component.

 +====Backup Programs====
 +If you have a backup (or disk duplication/synchronisation) program running on the VPOP3 computer, make sure it does **not** backup the VPOP3\pgsql\data folder. If the backup program is backing up that folder and is backing up a database file at the same time that the database server is trying to access it, it can lead to a corrupted database.
 +
 +This is especially the case if you have a 'continuous backup program', which is far more likely to cause problems because of the constant changes in those folders.
 +
 +However, if the backup program uses the Windows VSS (Volume SnapShot) system, then it is safe to use on those folder.
 +
 +VPOP3 does periodic backups of the database (by default into the main VPOP3 folder), so backing up those database backups is sufficient to allow you to restore the database to the time of the latest database backup.
