The real issue is that Redhat's own clamav is always out of date - so no-one uses it. They apply their mantra of "only patches" to versions frozen when the particular distro is released. Unfortunately that logic doesn't apply to AV software - but they won't make an exception of it.
Hence the need for a third-party - like DAG - who do keep it up to date (but fiddles with defaults - which we don't like - sigh!) -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
