Hi,
I have heard that compatibility between OpenAFS and Windows Antivirus
products isn't assured. I'm trying to compile a list of the best options.
Has anybody got any suggestions for the list (below)? OS versions and
Client versions would be nice to know too.
Has anybody anecdotal evidence about AV to be avoided?
Thanks,
Ian
