Re: Anti-virus solution

["Matt Patee" <mpatee@xxxxxxx>]

Let me make clear that there is no such thing as a virus for the AS/400.
Unfortunatly AS/400's aren't be personal computers. Because of this, and
because of the Integration of Lotus Notes, the IFS, and the PC clients
there have been two products recently created to scan for viruses on the
AS/400. I hope this helps.

ScanMail made by Trend Micro - This product has been out the longest. There
are bugs within the software, but nothing unmanagable. I have found
instances where it will end the mail server if it encounters a corrupt
file. Other than that, it's great.

McAfee was in the middle of putting out a product when I did my research on
this topic. Their product should be available now, however it is probably
the first or second version they have ever created for the AS/400.

We are currently in the process of migrating from MS Exchange to Lotus
Notes R5 for OS/400.  We currently are using Computer Associate's Innoculan
AV Agent for Exchange and it is working extremely well.   The problem is
that the AV Agent for Lotus Notes will NOT scan mail files on any other
platform other than NT.

What is everyone using for an anti-virus solution for Domino 400??

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!  :-)
