Virus Scanner Review Complete - Interesting Discoveries

[Nathan Johanson]

As I suspected, Trend's technical support isn't very well educated on
their products. Not uncommon for some of the larger, Windows-focused
vendors. Thanks for the link.

"there is a utility named "VSCAN" that is included with the InterScan
VirusWall for Linux installation, which acts exactly like FileScan for
Linux. The VSCAN utility will not expire after the evaluation period and
can be used free of charge for strictly non-commercial purposes"
