(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. > Marc G.
