lol - I ran the security check - and it proceeded to do a scan of the proxy server, then told me to get a firewall. I found it quite amusing. I didn't bother with the virus check.:pp

CSAV isn't one I've heard of, and its likely NAV haven't heard of it either.
And at least they just recommend a "commonly used" AV product rather than specifically their own product
They have been around a long time, not well known on the High St but well respected, possibly a bit to expensive for most people, but it is a deductable business expense.:)
When I bought my last but one PC from DAN Computers over 7 years ago ,Command F-Prot came preinstalled and I have used it ever since.

Pity DAN went down the tubes, they did build good tackle, perhaps thats why they went bust.:(

Did that here too. Bit surprised that a well known port for a trojan horse is open and given the potentially the private information available on the proxy server's disk (see my thread about proxy server privacy concerns).

:eek:

Same, but different :) . Original F-Prot still available from Frisk software. I think the original Command AV used the F-Prot engine as their software had an acknowledgment to Frisk on the product info. they changed the name to Command CSAV before they were taken over by Authentium a couple of years ago.
