BigCorp contracts with you, ClamAVUpdates, for X amount of money per month for virus updates. ClamAVUpdates.com goes down for twenty minutes. During that twenty minutes, a new virus comes out, and BigCorp gets infected with it. BigCorp then turns around and sues ClamAVUpdates for not fufilling their end of the contract. Yes, said contract probably included the standard 'best effort' clauses, or maybe it's not even your fault; but this is an important point, so I'm going to put it in it's own paragraph. You're still going to wind up in court. Court is expensive. So, liability insurance. ------------------------------------------------------- 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
