Nope, we are using a competing product for antivirus and for web
filtering etc... I dont know the latest status from Operations, but it
looks like they are going to have to rebuild that machine. I would
like to find out the cause first though, to prevent this from
happening again. Blacklisting scansafe is probably not going to be
enough if the source is elsewhere, that's why I was bringing the
subject up to begin with.
