Some are free for personal use, none are free for commercial use. Some like McAfee will require a license for each mailbox, others are per-server, others per-domain. F-Prot (www.f-prot.com) certainly needs to be mentioned. It's better than most, is free for personal use, and has reasonable "per server" pricing for commercial use. Trend VirusWall (www.antivirus.com) should be mentioned under both http and mail scanner sections. It's linux, but is rock solid under FBSD emulation. It's only really viable http option IMO. http://www.pcxperience.org/dgvirus/ should probably be mentioned under the http section. It's a dansguardian customization that is the most promising open source http scanner I've seen. Still young though, and I haven't tested on freebsd. http://viralator.loddington.com/ probably needs a mention under http section as well. http://www.openantivirus.org needs mentioning in all sections. Nothing there is production quality IMO, but the exposure can only help. Jerry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
