Re: [FW1] E-safe Auto updates

[Chris F <freaknetboy@FW1-NOSPAMyahoo.com>]

Hi,

It may be true that eSafe isn't the quickest re:
"IloveYou".

They did send an email saying to disable .vb files
until they had a fix available for "ILoveYou" -- if I
recall correctly (I was in Australia at the time,
watching CNN's story on it in Syndey's IA).

If you're on CIAC, SANS, CERT, etc. mailing lists and
you hear about a new virus, you can usually find a new
pattern for it at www.esafe.com within a few days --
or less. They usually release that type of thing as,
what they call, a Hot Update. It is understood that a
Hot Update is the latest and greatest AV pattern, but
may not be fully tested and to be used at your own
risk. I have yet to have a problem using a Hot Update
<knock on wood>.

As a work around solution waiting for an AV update for
a certain virus, I usually use eSafe's Text Inspection
feature. For example, I used it for that resume virus
until there was a pattern available -- searching for
"resume" in the subject line. Fortunately, we never
got it before a pattern was available.

HTH -- Chris
