Re: Virus scan attack

[Victor Julien <victor () nk nl>]

Hi,

We had the same problem with mcafee for linux. Upgrading the scanengine to 
4.2.30 solved the problem. We still used an old (and unsupported) version. 
See: ftp://ftp.nai.com/pub/ for a new version of the scanengine.

Regards,
Victor Julien
