Hi David -
There is a patched ("c") version of SCSMfilter that lets you set MAXTHREADS
to 1 and actually works... check Paul's IMS support page (www1.sica.com/ims)
for it. Earlier versions had a problem with this. Also you need to
reastart the SCSMfilter service if you change the thread settings for the
new settings to take effect.
If you can, please e-mail me your AVP engine tab settings for Sophos that
are working... I'd like to add these to the list so others might be able to
use this scanner with AVP.
You are correct bplugins run in the order they appear in filterb.plu.
Regards,
-- Eric
