If you have AMON enabled, what do you need IMON and DMON for? It seems to
me AMON (the real-time scanner) should take care of any file that is opened
on the system, regardless of it being e-mail (IMON) or Office doument
(DMON).

I would much rather have IMON scanning an email and allowing me to
terminate the connection instead of pulling the infected email to the
machine and having AMON respond to it. That way, I can use an application
like Mailwasher and delete the email off the POP3 server and it never
reaches my machine. I would much rather have DMON scanning files
downloaded through IE giving me the option to terminate the connection if
an infection is found instead of pulling the file to the machine. I would
much rather have the software be proactive with features such a IMON and
DMON instead of reactive as the infected file hits the machine and AMON
responds to it after it reads it on the drive. Also, the DMON plug-in is
doing something in scanning Word documents that AMON cannot do.

RTFM or use the Help of the NOD32 User Interface screens for the
explanations and usage of the above features.

IMON sets up a proxy so that email is scanned before you open it. As
well, it does more than just scan traffic on POP3 and SMTP ports. It
scans traffic on HTTP and HTTPS ports, to. That means it should be more
efficient at detecting embedded script viruses. DMON scanning looks for
embedded macros.
