I have, until recently, been using Antivir in it's free licence version
(For home use) but following a system reinstall (And version upgrades of
MS, SA etc) it stopped being called by MailScanner. Like you, the
update_virus_scanners worked fine and the command line wrapper worked
fine. I have no idea why and have given up using it. Any clues on this
one would be appreciated.
