I agree with Elardus Engelbrecht. I understand the auditors have a job to do, no issue. I can remember one auditor telling me to pull superzap off our box and re-link when we needed. I rolled my eyes, I couldnt believe what I was hearing. I strongly feel if you dont understand something like virus checking on a mainframe look at IBM, do they write one or offer one with z/OS ? ...
Should I now step down from my soapbox ..

Offer them a free lunch if they indeed find one. >PS. They did not appreciate my picture of the z890 with a McAfee box on top of it. ;-D They're like the tax man...
