Do you say that Windows version of > BitDefender does it? No. My experience has been so good with the win version. I almost thought it could disinfect anything. I have only had 2 occassions in 3yrs. of BD use, where I ever found a VIRII that BD couldn't disinfect on win. I sent them in to BD for further evaluation. However, I never had occasion to use it on mbox files before. Given such good experiences with it. I hadn't imagined there were any practical limitations; as found with mbox files. So my experience with it on FreeBSD was quite different for that reason. > The set of scanning engines is THE SAME for > Windows, FreeBSD, Linux, so it is absolutely impossible to > succesfully take disinfect actions on a mbox on a platform but to fail > on another. > >> Hence my choice of installs for FreeBSD.
