Yes, this is an automatic process done strictly by our 400's.  We use
Trend's process.

1)  Open up the database 'Scan Mail for Lotus Notes' - smconf.nsf
2)  Press the button Instructions and read these carefully.

We have 1 partition which selects the Internet option.  The rest select the
Replication option.
Then, from the Instructions, we have one program document which runs
PUPDATE on the Internet partition, 4 times a day.  Then we have several
scheduled replications to get the updated file out to all other partitions
30 minutes later.  Then we have a program document for each partition
selecting the Replication option 30 minutes after the replication to run
PUPDATE.

Rob,
In your response to Mamdoh you mentioned that you download the latest virus
pattern file 4 times a day. Is this an automatic process? I have tried to
automate it with no luck, so i do it manually. Any pointers you can give me
would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

We are very happy with the Trend Microscan product available at
http://www.antivirus.com
We have it running on 3 AS/400's supporting a number of Domino partitions.
We have it download the latest virus pattern files 4 times a day.  It will
scan all incoming email.  It will also scan all Domino databases for
existing virus's.  Just this morning it reported several to me it's caught.
Would not run without it!

Yes, we've had problems with it in the past.  Even kept one of our servers
down for a few hours (no corruption, just a bug with a pattern file).
However they are very responsive and the Domino/IBM support personnel seem
to be 'Trend' aware.  But who hasn't had problems?  I can't begin to count
the number of incidents I've had opened with Domino (just celebrated a 5
month anniversary on one that is still open-LEI), or the number of pmr's
I've opened with IBM.  Or the number of times I've called my application
software vendors.  We'll just leave Microsoft alone...

Hello everyone,

I was wondering as to what's the scene like for  very reliable virus
protection for Domino on the As/400 without the risk of  database
corruption or CPU over utilization? :-)
