Andrew,

I suspected that but we'll see my results. I did what John suggested and
I also have ClamAV and F-Prot running simultaneously. Doing this has
seemed to cut down the Sober.Xs completely but now I have a customer
complaining that trojan.lodear and sober.l variant is getting through, I
haven't investigated yet but I'll keep you posted.
