It sounds like you have a haggler there :) Seriously though, I have no idea myself regarding the security specifics of the updates, but they are arguing around a theoretical point. You cannot possibly have someone physically attending each and every signature update. And if there is a problem with any of the updates, check the logs. Matt p.s: Tell him that's a benefit of Open Source. You can check the source code and know exactly what it does :) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Clamav-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/clamav-users
