Please check through the list, as it seems the answer has been given
that Imail will call Declude virus which will call F-Prot when needed
without user intervention.

Do you have the any issues with f-prot for dos (i assume that's what you
are using) not running as a service so that the console must always be
logged in?� This caught my eye from a message earlier and has me
concerned.� We are looking at the various antivirus packages to work
with Declude and this would definately persuade me away from f-prot if
that is the case.
thanks

I would be very interested in knowing what F-Prot is missing.� My
Declude
install uses three distinct engines with F-Prot being my first in line.�
After
thousands of infected messages, nothing has fallen through for Mcafee or
Trend
to catch.� I only continue to run the extra scanners to give the client
"warm
fuzzies."
What did F-Prot miss?� Can I get a copy of them?� I am serious about
this
request. Although quite happy with F-Prot, I wouldn't hesitate to change
if I
found a real problem.
Did you look at the Windows version before buying it?� IMO, it's a good
no-frills scanner for the desktop, and at $2(or less) a seat, the price
can't
be beat.� BUT... I would never consider it for server on-demand use.� It
just
seems obvious to me that it isn't targeted for the server market.� My
guess is
the scheduler would work fine as a service using srvany, but I haven't
tried
it - again I don't think it's intended for that use.
I use an FTP script to update F-Prot, it is rock-solid, took 10 minutes
to
write, another 10 to test, and has been running reliably for months.
Thanks,
Jerry

I purchased F-Prot for Windows and wish I got McAfee or Norton! The
F-Prot
does not run as a service so I have to keep the server conole logged on
all
the time so that F-Prot will get it's updates. Speaking of updates!
There
updater program seems to FAIL A LOT! It is not very forgiving when it
comes to
the Internet being busy or even there server being busy so we don't get
updated everytime it tries to update. I have found a lot of viruses that
have
been released this year are not even detected by F-Prot! Ouch! :-( Hope
this
has helped you in making a choice about what brand to use.
