I just switched to 4x and noticed in the logs that scan times are
recorded - here are some sample scan times against the same email - 2062ms Clamscan 468ms Mcafee scan.exe 171ms fprot These relative scan time proportional differences appear to remain the same against other emails. Switching from clamscan.exe to clamdscan.exe ClamAV averages 15ms against all emails it sees. That is like a factor of 10 faster than fprot its closest performance competitor. Since its free and w/Sanesecurity phish sigs I give it an editors choice :) It would be nice to see [feature request?] the ms response time for AVG - -Nick John Shacklett wrote: Sorry for the tardy response, I've been traveling. I used mcafee on my old system in combination with f-prot, and never had any problems there either. On my new box [new since May], I started out with a different program from eTrust because we're moving away from McAfee across the board, but I had issues with the new program and switched to scan.exe. I don't remember exactly when I made that last switch, but I have NEVER gotten scan to return anything on anything it has scanned. I send myself a report daily on activity for the previous day, and it always says in the virus detections that "0 mcafee detected for 07-10-2006", a day when clamav found 82 and f-prot and AVG each found four more.I'm away from my office until next week, and I'm going to do some more experimenting then to figure out why mcafee fails. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Darrell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Sent: Thursday, 06 July 2006 4:51 PM To: declude.virus@declude.com Subject: Re: [Declude.Virus] 4.2.3 Built-in scanner John, What problems are you having with scan.exe?
