I have been using this software for about three years on a number of machines on my network. I run the avmailgate integrated as a filter on my mail server. I run it on my file server/s as well. All this is on the 'not for business' licence, and my home network is not business. I have cronjobs updating the patterns every night and I am very happy. One quirk, when the licence runs out on the mailserver, it can stop processing mail, which, the first time it happens looks real weird as you see postfix accepting the mail and then it just disapears. It was only when I ran the avgate program from the command line, the update prog had overwritten the virus def file with a broken one of zero bytes as the auto-update script failed to update because of the licence issue. <swoon> Bottom line though, it is the easiest and most stable free av program that I have used. The only reason I scan mail/files are that I have a couple of Win2K boxes that the family use. HTH. David.
