With the latest round of PC viruses being spread around the world, the IFS
on
some AS/400 and iSeries boxes is once again acting as a virus carrier...
Have
any of the virus-scanning or security companies come out with AS/400-based
virus
scanners that can be installed in a way that would prevent virus-infected
files
from being stored in the IFS?  Or is the only option to somehow force all
the
attached PCs to have active virus scanners in place, and then do a
periodic
batch scan of the IFS from an attached PC?

(My suggestion is to have a security officer periodically do spot checks
on
attached PCs, and then bonk any offenders who turned off virus scanning
with a
baseball bat, but some companies seem to think that suggestion is a bit
too
violent for their enterprises...)
