Thanks Jason! You are correct, I'm only trying to keep up-to-date with Anti-Virus / Spam. I have noticed that ClamAV have been updated to 0.84 and my logs are complaining :-) Also not sure if this help but when I tried sending test virus infected messages from one fo the online services, couple of infections got through, mainly with *.zip packaged tes files. So any recomended update for this package is a welcome option. I don't really care to keep up with toaster unless it will give me an options I really need or want.
Once again, thanks for quick reply!
