FWIW, according to my notes I removed all the securite* databases from
my mail systems in August 2013 because they were no longer updated.

I haven't used the SI databases since I removed them in 2013.  When I
did use them, I found that they weren't even remotely comparable to
Sanesecurity for effectiveness.

I'd also add that the existence of the Sanesecurity databases is the
single reason that I persevere with ClamAV.  All credit, and thanks,
to Steve Basford.
