Especially informative when a new virus is found and not all scanners detect it. You get to find out who did the best job. On my system recently a new virus was first detected by BitDefender, then later ClamAV, and surprisingly third Kaspersky. Typically Kaspersky does better than that. > Is this worth it in terms of resource usage? Every message will be scanned by all primary scanners when no virus is found, so there is only a minute amount of savings if you skip one or more scanners when a virus is found. > Peter Gary V ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
