This like FUD to the extreme. I BB> run ClamAV alone here and it has yet to let a single virus through. What kind of agreement do you think of? heise.de is one of the most reliable sources for it-related news in germany. And they mentioned that you canīt compare an OS-Project that is still under heavy development (alpha-stage as they called it) with a commercial product that was made by some big company with tons of manpower and money. ClamAV is gettin better every day, with every signature and every line of code. Still itīs far away from being a real challenger to the "big" av-products - but iīm sure - we have seen nothing yet ;-) If you want to blame someone just blame web.de. As one of the biggest Freemailprovider with hundreds of thousands accounts it was their mistake not to evaluate it better. as a matter of fact many of their customers complain about false positives and no option to turn it off. Just see it like this: Clam was able to fight in a heavyweight-enviroment - so you can see the code is pretty stable and able to handle realy big loads. :-) Oh - and of course there are viruses that canīt be recognized by clam - tons of them, but itīs only a matter of time.... -- Best regards, Christoph mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
