ClamAV already works great using Windows. Our product interfaces with it without any problems what so ever. That's part of the calling programs responsibility. For what Scott charges, he should make them changes to his program if he wants to support ClamAV fully. > > > Declude Virus provides the interface hook into the SMTP server, handles > > mime decoding etc., and then uses your choice of command line virus > > scanner(s) to do the actual virus check.

No rewriting/modifying ClamAV is required.
