Not by that but 0.96 will slag a machine with 128 MB. I hope the ClamAV Team doesn't decide to kill 0.95 in the same fashion. > a small group who think it was handled badly > but weren't affected, Here, although if 0.95 dies similarly, I guess I'll be a cretin and worse, according to some people, just because some of our hardware can't run 0.96. > and a group that thinks there is nothing wrong and > it's all the end users fault - and especially that the ClamAV team did > nothing wrong, When they write an AV engine they do a lot right.

Maybe bytecode.cvd or something else. Old installs don't even know to look for it or third party sigs. WOW, What a concept.

If an old Clamav was installed on a system that did a vital task, but could basically be a "set it and forget it" system, the setup got shafted by the ClamAV team. No other way to call it. -- Sincerely, Nathan Gibbs Systems Administrator Christ Media http://www.cmpublishers.com
