I have to agree. I've been running ClamAV as our primary scanner with
F-Prot behind it for a couple months. I had a couple of worms get
through to F-Prot one day-- most likely F-Prot got their definition
update out before Clam did.

Overall, Clam seems to be catching more than F-Prot did. I state that
based on the number of messages that get rejected based on attachment
type. That's been much less since implementing ClamAV as the scanner.
