The answer is that it depends. Using clamav to scan mail and file shares works fine, and clamav is as good as any commercial system. The clamav variants to run on a possibly-infected Windows PC are too easily circumvented. Than obvious answer being "don't do that then". -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
