My personal scores from best to worst: Clamav (been only a week, but it hasn't missed one) and free (Also catches some phish with prescan off) Mcafee Virusscan (beats F-prot on encyrpted zips) pretty resonably priced if you can secure DOS command line only license. (Also catches some phish with prescan off) F-Prot (catches more corrupted variants than Virusscan) Most expensive at $50 a year AVG (lags behind the others especially with encrypted zips). $75 for two years.
I'll note that scanning speed isn't a consideration of mine. Others can comment on that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Guenther" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2004 12:24 PM Subject: [Declude.Virus] Recommended Scanner > From the list of virus scanners given in the Declude Virus Manual is there > one more preferred than the others and why? > > > --- > [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] > > --- > This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.
