Hi Roger, Cool! Thanks for the most specific info on Declude I have seen posted to this list thus far. I've seen a ton of glowing testimonials, which is great, but your description included exactly the type of technical gory details that I was looking for.
Also, we're already purchased F-Prot, and I am familiar with its capabilities - so that part of the battle is already won. Thanks for your 'log' analogy - that was hilarious. ;) Best regards, Julie Julie Silverman Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, Network Geek ---------------------------------------------------------- Acme Internet http://www.acmeinternet.com voice: 952-928-8828 Microsoft Certified Partner ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Roger Heath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 21:05:08 -0600 >Reply to: Julie Silverman > Re: [IMail Forum] Declude Virus product line change on February 1, 2002 on Wednesday >8:40:37 PM > >Julie, just thought I'd say that installing Declude is >like falling off a log.
