Subject: RE: Anit-Virus Software
In the field, I have worked with McAfee, CA, Symantec (Norton) and Trend Micro.
I've also worked with SOPHOS. Nice product, VERY lightweight as far as system impact goes, highly clueful tech support: at a now-2-years-dead dotcom I worked for, it identified one of our custom Java applets as viral. With a code sample and a copy of the AV message, they had an updated definitions file to us in 4 hours. . . and pushed it out to the world as well.
I disagree. I used Sophos over 2 years and I had some problems.
It didn't find viruses sometimes although I made upgrades.
I also used it with amavis and qmail and it sometimes crashed my MTA .
Best wishes,
Shamrock
