Mcafee is a CPU HOG. Uses double the CPU of Fprot. I have a low powered machine and cannot even run Mcafee but fprot is no problem. Both is unreal.
This is the mcafee command line scanner. The declude archive includes a Wget updater that works fine. I use a 4NT update script but the Wget is probably better I have just been too lazy to change it back. Of course you will not that the Website clearly states you are required to have a license to mcafee before you use this code which is readily available to all. You can also download the daily dats which are considered BETA quality but that's fine with me. Unluckily I do not use the with declude because smartermail and mcafee are just more than the measly server I have this one can handle. Luckily Smartermail and fprot are working just fine with declude and I have nothing to complain about (ESPECIALLY SINCE I GOT RID OF THAT IMAIL --- Blech). Here is a mcafee command line scanner. ftp://ftp.nai.com/CommonUpdater/ Download the latest superdat (sdatxxxx.exe) file from the Network Associates ftp site. Now you must unpack it using the "/e" parameter. From the mcafee folder, run sdatxxxx.exe /e (where xxxx is the version number, for example sdat4290.exe). When unpacking you don't see anything happen for about 20 seconds, just wait for it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Fisher Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 6:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Declude.Virus] Second Scanner Matt posted speed comparison's I'd say about a year ago.
