Hi Janet....we use Trend Micro's ScanMail and OfficeScan....very good. Resides on AS400 for Domino and NT on the 400 gets out updates and distributes to the PC's. Only problem is lack of support for mapped drives (IFS). We use Norton to scan all IFS directories. Wish there was a product that just scanned the whole 400 automatically on a particular schedule....now am I dreaming. jkrueger@andrewscg.com on 09/21/2001 03:25:35 PM Please respond to midrange-l@midrange.com To: midrange-l@midrange.com cc: (bcc: Gail L Crane/Johanson/JMC) Subject: iSeries-based virus programs 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...)
