Hey boys, I think that the best way is to join all of us in this case. With
statistics of servers ( windows Vs Linux ), and "signatures" on one web or
similar, will make more effect than 10 mails to AV with the same thing (
blocking mail is very easy )
So if anyone have contacts with AV and reflect that, maybe the utopic
"sync" win/linx updates could be reached.
Anyway, AV have the last word, and maybe they have contracts with Microsoft
or anything else, I am hoster and the cure is to pass servers to windows,
so I have to buy more windows SO's, or I will loose clients.
