Gmail is using this AntiVirus (99% yes, but there is no official statement by Gmail on this)........

It is primarily developed for Enterprise and Networking use. So, I don't suggest using it on a home computer.

But I'll suggest NOD32........

Gmail (using Sophos) detects my Keylogger when I send it as an attachment but that crappy Norton used by Yahoo doesn't detect.....
