For timeframe I meant the time it takes for clam-av people to add signatures to the AV DB ;) This requires a somehow tedious operation that involves acquiring samples, doing the analysis, writing signatures, etc... Inside commercial AV companies there's people ready 24 hours/day to do that, and those people usually want to get paid (just because it is a tedious operation) :) - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
