So far I have NOT
Hi , Jennifer, Stephen, and Marcus,

It should be pointed out that ClamAV (and the MacOSX and Windows

Hi folks,
I know this must sound a bit paranoid but well you

I have Virex installed but my .Mac membership expired about 3

Hello Steven,
i have recently moved over to ClamAV and found it to work well and to
