Which Virus Scanner

[S Mohan]

I have created a cron job to run on 28th of every month. This downloads
the latest engine and installs the same.

Have called this sophos.update with 700 root owner

Hi All

Rather than me testing all of the virus scanners that MailScanner
supports, I thought it would be quicker to hear your opions on which
virus scanner(s) you have found to be the easiest to install and keep
fully updated. I have tried Sophos, which works well, but updating the
virus engine is a bit of a pain.

What do you think ?


Also, are there any which are free and support by MailScanner ?


Thanks

Wayne
