I do have antivir written on this line, but I only gets information,
that antivir is updated.

Ok, this is the job, that MailScanner does ?.

I see. And the only simple thing to do is having the antivir placed in
the MailScanner.conf as I have ?. Nothing else to do ?.

I wonder then why virusinformation the doesn't have antivir in the
messages I receive about founded viruses. I receive information from my
F-PROT and my CLAMAV. They of course also is written on the
MailScanner.conf line.

Thanks for your help.
