Lawrence,

We have setup a NT4 server as a ScanServer with McAfee on it.

We have a point to point connection between the Filer and the scanserver.

(Don't forget to set the speed of the network card on the NT server to 100MB Full Duplex)

We just map the cifs volume and scan the cifs volume over the point to point connection(to avoid network load).

So far we are very happy with this solution and have been able to detect and remove viruses from the Filer.

As soon that a virus is detected a popup window appear on my pc.

Have a nice day!

Just curious if anyone is running a virus scanner against filers for CIFS? ______________________________________ Lawrence D.
