What you pay when you buy a commercial AV solution is not the dumb AV engine. You pay the fact of being able to access a signature database that is updated around the clock. Since updating (at worm speed time) the signature database is a pretty boring task, it's unlikely to have ppl to line up to do this for free. This is way free AV will be unlikely to fly. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
