Best Antivirus Scanner

I believe you just put the av tools in a list in your config file and they
run in order like: Virus Scanners = clamav mcafee



I am planning on running clam first so I can see which ones aren't being
picked up by Mcafee to send them to clamav so they can get updated.

I am installing ClamAV to work with MacAfee, but how do I tell Mailscanner
to use it also? And which should I run first?

The current daily dat files from McAfee (

<http://download.nai.com/products/mcafee-avert/daily_dats/DAILYDAT.TAR>  )
seem to work OK.



Best on what platform?



The best is a combination of scanners from different vendors.  This is one
of the things I love about MailScanner - you can run as many as you like.



I'd recommend ClamAV plus a commercial scanner.

All,



With recent issues with McAfee Antivirus, was wondering what AV tool you
think is the best and why.



Thanks
