Hi Kevin,

I've been using AVG along with ClamAV for years and never had a major issue, 
I still get the occasional nasty sneak through, but that's just the nature 
of the beast.

Cheers,
Chris

hi kevin, thanks for your reply.  i was looking at sophos today, but i 
couldnt see a free opensource download.  do you know if this is indeed 
free/opensource for linux?

I use f-secure as well as clamav on my mail gateways.  If one doesn’t get it 
the other may.  I also use Sophos internally, so the files have been scanned 
three times by the time the user sees them.



I also disallow password protected archives, but have a rule file to allow 
trusted sites to protect a zip file for the few exceptions.

clamav is pretty good, but i am still seeing quite a few trojan attachments 
(in .zip) getting thru.  is there another recommended alternative to use 
with/inlieu of clamav?

thanks,
jonathan
