OT: "best" virusprogram

[Tony Enderby]

Hi Folks,

I am keen to evaluate Bitdefender but am unsure what distribution to use
with MailScanner

Their site has a number of releases and I initially installed
BitDefender-sendmail-1.6.2-1.linux-gcc3x.i586.rpm.run
however this seems to integrate at the MTA level in preference to
mailscanner calling it.

Could someone give me some insight on what version they are currently
running with mailscanner?

Many thanks in advance.

Tony.

Fairly subjective topic, but we all know one thing. All are much better
together than individually. I think a combo of 3+ scanners is all you
can do, and for almost everyone is enough to prevent any live ones
getting through.

As far rating them individually, might be better to google for reviews?
