What looks like a bunch of odd updates probably happens when they merge viruses.db2 into viruses.db and then empty out viruses.db2. Two separate virus db files, only one of which is updated frequently, is a pretty good way to keep the update traffic down since the frequently updated file is much smaller. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon(at)wolves.k12.mo.us FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32, IA64, PC98, Alpha, and UltraSPARC architectures - x86-64, PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, and S/390 under development - http://www.freebsd.org Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
