Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Declude virus,
Mcafee or F-prot?
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.
