That is sometimes true, but the advantage is that you get the new versions as fast as possible. I consider this to be a major advantage with an anti-virus product. In your case, the distribution is significantly behind (0.87-1 is from Nov 2005 -- current version is 0.88-4). -- Bowie _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
