Just to make sure you understood. (becuase I didn't until i looked at it)
This is a FreeBSD virus scanner to scan msdos files that happen to be
stored on your FreeBSD server. It is not a scanner to find FreeBSD
viruses. I think it is meant for use with things like SAMBA servers. We
have a couple servers running SAMBA and dishing out files, so that is why
we are looking into it.
Should I call Mcaffee and lodge a bug notice, just to add a few numbers to
the group? or Do you think you have covered it?
I am fairly sure we are going to purchase it.
