As a user I an assure you the clamav team is as fast (or faster in the case of MyDoom) than the commercial AV implementors, and they are backfilling older viruses, and adding new capabilities to better scan M$ office docos, so the number keeps going up. Since I (and I get the impression most others) use clamav in a mail-scanning function, so 15 year old MBR dos viruses are a much lower priority than the latest Gaobot varient. I'm more than happy with the success rate and continueing progress clamav makes. -S -- Scott Call Router Geek, ATGi, home of $6.95 Prime Rib I make the world a better place, I boycott Wal-Mart VoIP incoming: +1 360-382-1814 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
