ClamAV Forced Upgrade Breaks Email Servers
An anonymous reader writes "A couple of weeks ago Sourcefire announced end-of-life for version 0.94 of its free ClamAV antivirus package (and in fact has been talking about it for six months). The method that Sourcefire chose to retire 0.94 was to shut down the server that provided its service. Those who had failed to upgrade are scrambling now. Many systems have no choice but to disable virus checking in order to continue to process email. I am very glad I saw the announcement last week!"
Should have switched to Norton. They would have had weeks of impossible-to-ignore yellow and black pop-ups demanding their credit card number as ample warning...
Those freetards just don't understand the valuable features provided by quality proprietary software.
go fuck yourself
uh. this is slashdot. for most of us, that is a redundant instruction.
what would have been far more offensive is
go fuck someone else
as we all know that's not possible for most of us. ...you insensitive clod.
FUCK JEWS
When they are exceedingly attractive, female, not married, and expressing interest, I do.

Be careful, though. Natalie Portman might pour hot grits on you.

With a name like ClamAV, my bet would be the Scientologists.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
I'm effected by endless clueless customers whining that their email server broke.
While such an occurrence would prompt me into action, I doubt it would prompt me into existence. ;)
I really wish thieves would let you know half a year in advance when they'd steal your car.
The "DON'T PANIC!" was obviously the wrong message to display for something that was going to break your mail server.
1984 was not supposed to be an instruction manual.
