Following up a message from Benny Pedersen to Sean Dennis About OS/2 virus scan
in BBS:

>> I recently reopned my BBS, and I am running OS/2 Warp4. I wonder
>> there are anyone who runs antivirus (that suits OS/2) scan for
>> incoming files? If yes, can it be used for command line and are the
>> latest update available?

I would suggest Mcafee, you get the best of both worlds, a gui interface, and
command line.  I can ship you a copy via the internet if you want.  I update
mine every week.  It also does LFN with ease.

SD> I'd recommend F-PROT.  It's free and it runs under DOS, but it works
SD> wonderfully under OS/2.  It's what I used when I ran my board under
SD> OS/2.

BP> and it works well under linux aswell, i have a cron that updates the
BP> files 2 times a day, i use it for my mail scanner, and spam checking



Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
