RE: Anti-virus for i5OS

[Mike Cunningham <mcunning@xxxxxxx>]

These are not viruses that infect i5OS but Windows ones that users might place in the IFS when drive mapped, or if you allow uploads of files that you then save in the IFS. Drive map users can usually be controlled by a good desktop virus protection process but uploads via a web site are open for anything

Huh? Has anybody even encountered an AS/400 virus "in the wild"? I
thought they barely even existed as laboratory curiosities requiring as
much system administrator cooperation to spread as the infamous "Amish
Virus."
