Our Antigen didn't detect that message (in the Bugbear thread, right?) as a virus. I wonder if a particular one of the scan engines made that identification. Did the alerts you received include the scan engine vendor name in the name of the virus?
You'll have to admit though that it's not a bad guess, since you did reproduce the malformed MIME part from a Klez in your message. That's not something you'd find in an average email. -Peter -----Original Message----- From: Tim Gowen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 0:46 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Antigen vs. Trend Well, I just posted something about non-existent file attachments and every list member who's running Antigen has sent me a message about my sending out an infected virus (including someone at the Pentagon :-(). If there'd actually been an attachment on the message then Trend wouldn't have allowed me to send it. Which is basically the end of the argument for Trend, as far as I can tell. Presumably it's possible to flood an Antigen server with fake virus alerts and bring it down...

I am personally leaning towards Trend Neat Suite that seems to offer a lot more desktop options for desktop and server protection as well. But I'm curious if you all think that possibly Antigen's pros outweigh the pros of the suite of Trend. Does any one have any information that would be useful in my decision?
