[Declude.Virus] Clam AV vs. AVG vs. McAfee
The discussion on the current version of Clam AV and Clam being able to detect some image spam got me thinking. Prior to Declude version 4.0, I always used McAfee AV to scan all incoming messages. When I upgraded to Declude 4 I decided to try it's built in AV which seems to work fine. I'm curious though as to the opinions of others on this list as to the merits of using Clam or other anti-virus scanners either in place of the Declude built in AV or in addition to it. Any opinions people would like to share will be appreciated. Thanks! Wolf --- This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.

Re: [Declude.Virus] Clam AV vs. AVG vs. McAfee
Wolf, I use McAfee, CLAM, Internal AVG, and at one time (before licensing changes) F-Prot all at the same time. If you have extra CPU there is no reason not to use multiple scanners. One thing though when I switched to processing AV last I seen a dramatic drop in viruses due to them being caught as spam. 50-60K a month down to less than 2K. FWIW - I have McAfee as my last scanner and every now and than I see it grab a few viruses that the others miss. Darrell Check out http://www.invariantsystems.com for utilities for Declude And Imail.

RE: [Declude.Virus] Clam AV vs. AVG vs. McAfee
That's my experience too. I update McAfee hourly - which helps with new outbreaks. It's the last scanner in sequence and always manages to catch viruses that the internal didn't. (Of course, I don't know if there are virus that the internal caught that McAfee might have missed.)

Re: [Declude.Virus] Clam AV vs. AVG vs. McAfee
Slightly OT, but can anyone recommend a good source for the command line version of McAfee?
