      Mark,              ML> DS> In the past, Sysops used things like THDPro, combined with either       ML> DS> McAfee's Scan or the program from F-Prot to scan new uploads.              ML>AFAIK, F-Prot's is still available... just not as easily located... one migh       ML>also be able to use clamav since that is command line scanning only... i've       ML>not       ML>tried it as i still use my original thdpro installation with f-prot and mayb       ML>one or two other scanners... i know that i stopped using one and that becaus       ML>it was impossible to find newer signatures to work with that old command lin       ML>version...               That is the main problem...the new virus signatures are no longer updated       with the command line scanners. Plus, you have to have a license to use       them...and once you have a virus scanner on your system it tends to FIGHT with       competing scanners, thinking the competing scanner and datafiles are malware.               Right now, I have the IOBit Advanced System Care (which includes the IObit       Malware Fighter)...but the command line length for these programs is limited       in size.              Daryl              ---        * OLX 1.53 * Error??
