Yes, it only affects 3.74 and 3.75 right now, so maybe you are still using 3.73 (good for another month). I have talked to Sophos about it, but they are less than helpful on this. From what I understand, it is not a major change to the library, but rather how it is compiled. Anyway, there is a lot of chatter on the Sophie mailing list about it, and from what I can tell, it is affecting most everyone that runs a fairly large site. Most of the people I've talked to off-list are looking for alternatives, too. The reason I'm asking the Q-S users is that I'm not going to get much help for alternatives from the Sophie mailing list (since they are all running Sophos and don't use something else) and Sophos is REALLY not going to help me find something else. :-) Here, people are using all sorts of scanners and, as an added bonus, they are all compatible with Q-S! ;-) Trey Nolen ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
