Subject: Re: Windows virus scanner for Samba shares?
I add all my Samba shares and map them so they show up as X:, Y:, Z:, etc
on my windows box, and then I set Norton to scan them. However, I also
have ClamAV setup on the Linux side, so the shares get scanned twice: once
by Norton, another by ClamAV.
