Hi Reuven,

I had almost the same issue with clamav myself. It did catch viruses, but
just not as many as I wanted it to. It got the obvious ones, but not the
newest. It simply wasn't updated enough.

I moved to fprot as per the advice of a nice guy here on this list (forgot
the name), and was pleasantly surprised to find it catches them all! I've
also increased the update rate from every 12 hours to every 2 hours, because
with recent developments, new mail viruses appear almost on a daily basis!

Moving to fprot showed yet another great advantage - it seems to use much
less cpu and memory resources than clamav, for some reason. It finishes
scanning for viruses (specially in archives) much faster.

If I had ample resources, I would probably run both antiviruses, but our
mail server handles heavy mail traffic, and I wouldn't want to tax it more
than I have to.

Let me know how it goes, and good luck! :-)
