We have noticed that Kaspersky and Sophos are placed at your web site but we wonder if we have any other / new alternatives more then these two SW ? as nobody has mentioned them yet, there is HB EDV which have a (native?) FreeBSD version of their scanners: http://www.hbedv.com I'm currently testing their virus scanner for OpenBSD, so I don't have any long-term stats. But it looks quite good so far. -volker ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
