It is also worth pointing out to n00bs and old timers alike this tag line from
the ClamAV home page:
"The Standard
ClamAV is the open source standard for mail gateway scanning software."
One needs to keep this in mind when doing comparisons with other software
packages and when comparing ClamAV in usages other than mail gateway scanning
else you may be comparing apples and ducks. Statistics without test methods are
useless. Statistics that don't reveal false positives are dodgy. Statistics that
don't indicate signature vs heuristics matching are not particularly helpful.
I'm never impressed with products that detect viruses at the desktop level
anyway because it means the firewall has failed.
I like that ClamAV also finds spam and other non-malware content in real time at
the mail gateway. How do the other ducks compare at that feature?
