Dear Rafel Ivgi, The-Insider, Now bad things about McAfee: antiviral bases are updated only once in a week (remember Mydoom? Kaspersky updates signatures every 4 hours), dies on checking far.exe, detects any MS Office file with dot in a name as a heuristic virus, requires ePolicy Orchestrator to be managed in corporate network and in case of centralized 'mirror' updates requires all updates to be downloaded twice (because it's impossible to update machine with mirror itself from mirror). Any antivirus comparsion demonstrate one thing: CURRENTLY THERE IS NO GOOD ANTIVIRAL PRODUCT ON MARKET. --Friday, April 16, 2004, 3:47:59 PM, you wrote to bugtraq () securityfocus com: RITI> Hi everyone!
