If nobody would use beta-software provided by monopolists it wouldn't
be necessary to use antivirus software. As a matter of fact some OS
got popular and others not (only for servers and to secure the other
one agains virus and malicious codes for their own made backdoors).

There are many other solutions against virus and I don't even know
this antivirus anyway.

We use antivir, fprot, sophos and clamav on our mailgateway. As a
reaction against virus our mailserver 'magically' rejects executable
attachements (so av software is normally not used much by it). The
best solution is not to use antivir's mailscanner but use amavis or
other solutions.

It is very funny that everytime a OS manufacturor buys a non important
whatever software distributor everybody thinks linux is affected by
it. The next effect is some OS doesn't like rfc's while others use it
or initiated the rfc.

Reguards

Philippe
