[Mimedefang] uvscan - detecting virus name

[Lucas Albers]

Should you be running dat file auto update?
Scan engine v4.2.40 for Linux.
Virus data file v4270 created Jun 05 2003
Scanning for 73906 viruses, trojans and variants.

Current : 4270

my update shows the latest dat as 4270.

Try the uvscan auto-update for mcafee linux virus scanner:
http://www.bluestream.org/Networking/McAfeeLinuxUpdate.htm

I run it every hour, as I needed to update the scanner fast, to catch
virus's quick.
I got tired of virus's slipping by my scanner and having to reload windows.
