Fair enough. Although I still prefer clamav for that job - it's free (really free), regularly updated, and is limited in scope to doing exactly what I want it to do - I don't have to try and stop it digging its claws into other parts of my system. It's a bit slow compared to other scanners, but that doesn't bother me much. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
