F-Prot is currently the second scanner in the process, and isn't executed if
Mcafee finds something. But, there have been a handful (probably less than
10) things caught by F-Prot that McAfee missed. I don't have access to them
now, so can't give conclusive numbers. Because of the execution order, I
can't say what F-Prot would have missed that Mcafee caught before F-Prot had
a chance to try.
I'm collecting all the infected messages, and will probably run a real
comparison when time allows. From my viewpoint, it's just something to
give my client a warm fuzzy feeling about the whole virus defense issue.
It will also help cover my ass if(when) some critter does slip through and
causes damage.
