I would say that if you are running in a production environment, you cannot afford to have your antivirus tools be outdated. Either install it from volatile, build it from source, or find a 3rd party package that you can install. An antivirus tool is one thing that you need to keep current. -- Bowie ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
