Re: Begs a question: AV in Linux // Re: MDKSA-2006:016

personally after poking at the FSG and the UPX vulns,  and some other
possible issues with decompression im poking at myself, i would not use
clamav right now. not enough care is taken when examining "packed"
executables.


that said, im sure i would feel the same way if i were able to look at
any of the non-linux antivirus solutions as well.
