thanks for the replies. I know that sometimes one scanner will find a
file that the other wont i was just curious if clamAV tends to not
find viruses that norton finds. Thanks again for your reply
Daniel...a couple other people tried to make me sound like i had no
clue how a virus scanner worked.
I think you just sounded like you were prepared to make draconian
decisions based on a sample of one. All the advice given is valid
regardless of the AV vendor. You don't yet know if you have a false
positive with Norton or a missed virus with ClamAV, so you really have
no basis to make any decision. I'd suggest submitting your file to
several AV vendors and see what happens.
