[clamav-users] ClamAV(R) blog: ClamAV 0.98.6 has been released!

[Al Varnell]

Not sure how ClamAV® works with other platform VM's, but on Apple Macs, it has not been shown to be effective.  I always encourage users to install a separate A-V scanner within the VM environment (often Windows where ClamWIN works fine).
