Thanks for taking the time to ched some light. Anyway,
is sophos alive ? I mean I cannot find the linux
version of it. Is it free ? Or how can you buy it? Can
you buy it online? regardless, The sophos sweep is
working right? ....if the files are there ....why is
it that sophie is not able to see the files ? I think
I have to get the  linux.intel.libc6.glibc.2.2.tar.Z
version instead of  linux.intel.libc6.tar.Z ....I am
following pretty decent guide in getting qmail
installed and according to the guide sophos linux
version is free ..can someone veryfy this?

Thanks for your help.
