Yes, I suggest Clam Antivirus. http://clamav.elektrapro.com/ Open source Antivirus scanner. No fees for virus updates, either. It's also in the Ports Collection: /usr/ports/security/clamav I would recommend getting the latest download from their website as the software has improved greatly over the course of the last several months. It seems to be the best open source AV scanner I've been able to find that includes it's own virus database, but perhaps someone else knows of something better. - Jamie > > Ben > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > Greetings from Minneapolis, MN, United States "A friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself."
