Re: [Declude.Virus] F-Prot Alternative

[Jonathan]

I've found several bugs in the win32 implementations of ClamAV (some 
really ugly stuff), but none that really effect the scanning of viruses. 
Since that post was made, I think it's safe to say that ClamAV has made 
a bit of headway on performance. I'd be interested in seeing a head to 
head comparison again, but my light testing now showed it to scan a 
0.10MB file in about 0.52seconds.

I do like the fact that it has a nice, clean, fast updater as well .. no 
goofy stuff to work around, and no need to hack out a script.

Chuck,
Search the archives for "scanner efficiency olympics".  It's a year 
old now, and I was primarily focused on performance instead of 
accuracy.  F-Prot is the king of speed, however it seems to have 
several hiccups each year, and there seems to be a slew of different 
things happening lately.  I think it is good to pair F-Prot with 
another scanner, but that requires Declude Virus Pro.  If I was going 
to choose one scanner and had plenty of spare CPU, I would probably 
choose McAfee based on accuracy and speed combined, but as Nick 
indicated, it is hard to purchase unless you want a full network 
installation.

Unless he chimes in here with an updated answer, the answer is somewhere

We have been running F-prot as the virus scanner with Declude for over a
year but lately it seems to have more and more bugs in it.  What do
others recommend as low-cost scanners to work with declude?
