Re: Again: Server Based Virus Protection

["Mamdoh AlOqiel" <Mamdoh@xxxxxxxx>]

Everyone,

Thank you for the confidence boost, I was very suspecious of most server
based live manipulation of DBs, specially as intruding as it would be when
involving users mail files, where the most risk resides.

I shall proceed with tests on TrendMicro.

Thank you. :-)
