    What? Do you really mean that clamav, which has stopped 40 viruses on
    my linux network of 4 clients in a week, isn't an anti-virus? Help, am
    I really that insecure? What about the 672 spam messages spamassassin
    has stopped the last week? haven't it stopped them after all?

    *sigh* I simply MUST convert to windows on my servers and
    clients. I guess it was a bad idea to setup automatic patching and
    virus definition update on my linux boxes. Simply a waste of all the
    30 minutes it took to set it up.
