Why would you be using an on-access antivirus program at all? They are a huge waste of money and resources, and totally unnecessary if you follow a few basic security rules (make sure nothing nasty can get into your computer by scanning your email, using a clamav for on-demand scanning of downloads, attachments, usb sticks, etc., avoiding IE and OE like the plague, and using a proper hardware firewall instead of some silly windows software firewall). _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
