This is a big issue for me because my second scanner is so wasteful in comparison to my first, and during larger virus outbreaks, there's a very clear spike in average utilization.  I don't believe that this is being prioritized, so I suggest that you hold your request and repost it when Scott gets back...that is if it causes you any issues.

I've given some consideration to writing a handler script myself that would do the same thing, but I haven't gotten around to it yet :)  It certainly can be done though.

So right now if you use multiple scanners when you scan with ScannerA
and it finds a virus Declude will still call ScannerB and have it scan
as well?
    
Correct. Scott has said this is on his todo list..

Scott pointed out that his McAfee was only $11.00 for the year so the
price barrier is "non-existant" and I see from your and Scott's
responses that there are indeed reasons to have more than one scanner.

Thank you all

For the folks using multiple scanners, do you have any stats on
how often the secondary scanner found a virus that the first one
missed?
        
Hi Goran,

Here are my latest stats:
Virus Totals:
    441	F-Prot
    412	AVG
    446	McAfee
-----------------
Vunerabilities:
349
-----------------

I update the defs for all every 4 hrs on a staggered schedule.
Because of possible false positives I have found it hard to rank one
particular scanner over another. For me the advantage to have more
than one is one [varies] company will always come out with
protection for a new outbreak before another. The downside is cost
and cpu overhead. For the latter there is an outstanding request to
Scott to kill additional scanning once a scanner detects a virus..

-Nick Hayer




      
I realize that the cost of F-Prot (which I am using) is quite low
        
and
    
others might be as well, so it is not a cost issue but rather a
"Do
        
I
    
really need it?".

Thanx

I find the Mcafee is the best at detecting viruses within
          
encrupted
    
zips.
        
Otherwise they are pretty even.

I'd recommend using F-Prot and Mcafee.
Mcafee for the DOS command line scanner is dirt cheap. I'll see
if
          
I
    
can
        
find my price tomorrow.

<<< [EMAIL PROTECTED]  5/15 12:29p >>>
Can anyone tell me how f-prot compares to mcafee or symantec
when
          
it
    
comes
        
to keeping their database up with new viruses? That just seems
pretty cheap but hey that's exactly what I'm looking for as long
          
as
    
it works well
          
:)
        
thanks,
