And many people sing the praises of ClamAV... It's still applying band-aids to a hemophiliac rather than supplying them with clotting factor. The only *sustainable* long-term solution is to use software that was designed with a sane security model, so there's no *need* for a separate A/V product. If you actually use a sane security model, not only do you vastly reduce the need for an A/V solution, but you also minimize the spyware and trojan issue. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
