Re: [vps-mail] FYI: Latest Bagle Jimmies Security Locks

Boy, I couldn't disagree more with Seltzer and his comments

Clamav has been a blessing for our clients and ourselves.

We have a complete virus scanning server using 2 Commercial virus scanning
engines from 2 different sources and there has been the very odd time when
Clamav picked up a virus after going through those 2 scanning engines.

I believe the writer (Seltzer ) is biased for whatever reasons

Keep up the good work Clamav!  :)
