I've used both McAfee's vscan for Unix/FreeBSD, and Kaspersky's Anti-Virus for FreeBSD. They are fully functional virus scanners.

Combine this with smbfs, and you're ready to go. ___________________________________________ Jeremiah Gowdy IT Manager - Senior Network Administrator Sherline Products Inc 3235 Executive Ridge Vista CA 92083-8527 IT Dept: 760-727-9492 Sales: 1-800-541-0735 International: (760) 727-5857 Fax: (760) 727-7857 ___________________________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy C.
