Yes - they are Dennis, but your remarks related to Barracuda is if they were some kind of 'rights fighter' for OS, which is ironic given they make their living selling it, cobbled together with weak glue scripts. I put it to you they were more concerned with having to pay for, or licence, an AV engine which would have eaten at Perone & Drako's profit $$$. For a man that flies his staff around on Airmiles, I can see that sticking in his throat, and hence the motivation.
This continues, however, to be OT for Clam so should we call it quits here, or find somewhere else to fight and set the world to rights? _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
