Hi
I downloaded and used this software and found (amongst other things) a:
Worm.Bagle.Gen-zippwd
in my mbox file in the inbox.
Does anyone know what the mbox file is and is it safe to remove it
(it seems to appear in most other mailboxes)?
Thanks
Adam

Hello Steven,
i have recently moved over to ClamAV and found it to work well and
to be a fine replacement for products like virex, there was
recently a problem found with part of ClamAV that caused Multiple
Integer Overflow Vulnerabilities however this has been patched -
http://secunia.com/advisories/16250/
overall i'm pretty happy with ClamAV, one of my primary reasons for
moving to it apart from cost was the rumourmill from sophos
regarding viri for OS X
it would appear that they dont know a virus from a root exploit,
which concerns me. Also the ClamAV developers have proved that they
are on top of problems that occur with ClamAV and are proactive
with there fixes
cheers
Natas

Hi folks,
I know this must sound a bit paranoid .... but .... well .... you
just never know.
I have Virex installed but my .Mac membership expired about 3
months ago.
I don't think the updates work any more because of this ??
Is this correct ? I can't see any way of actually checking.
I noticed someone recently recommending ClamXav.
I have downloaded it but have not yet installed it.
Would this be a good replacement for Virex ?
Or (if Virex still woks) a I better off staying with Virex ?
