I just prefer to run native when there is one that is stable and up-to-date. ClamAV performance has never been a real issue on our mail server (can anyone say "SpamAssassin"?). Stability has, at times been an issue, so we've used most of the Windows builds at one time or another. I currently prefer the one I just recommended (http://oss.netfarm.it/clamav), but the SOSDG and tBB builds also work well. I haven't tested all the latest build, but in the last few, clamd seems reasonably stable in these three up-to-date builds.
Each build has its idiosyncrasies, so pay attention to the command-line arguments and configuration files when switching builds. Bret _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-win32
