[Declude.Virus] Burnt by double failure today

[Matt]

Just to expand upon a thread on the JunkMail list, I was burnt today by 
a failure in F-Prot to properly detect standard zip file viruses from 
the new variant today (it was throwing ERROR 8 until about 6 p.m. EST), 
and AVG's issues stemming from broken support of their /ARCW and /RTW 
switches essentially means that AVG won't report on zip files containing 
viruses and therefore Declude is useless with zip files and AVG version 
7.0.251 or later, which is too bad because it appears that AVG released 
the new definitions before 90% of this virus traffic hit which was 
missed by F-Prot.

The net result of this in combination of a huge outbreak of viruses 
today was about 130 of these zip files getting through Declude Virus and 
I would imagine that between 10% and 20% of these got through Declude 
JunkMail.  The bulk of this happened in just 3 hours.

I wrote AVG about this issue, but I don't think I care to wait for a fix 
at this point.  They broke their product 3 ways on June 10th and still 
haven't fixed it.  I'm ready to take another look at Clam-AV which was 
still having issues with Clamd the last time I checked.  If anyone has 
some updated information on the daemon's Window's support and stability, 
please chime in.
