Is anyone using HAVP? I read only one sentence on the home page:

Disadvantage:
If the scanning process is too slow and the file is larger than the
defined "hold back data" you can still receive a virus! If the file
contains a virus and the file is bigger than the "hold back data" the
download will be cancelled with no warning. If you try to download the
file again you will get the error message (this feature is not
implemented yet).

My opinion: this is a no-go!

And ICAP is only working with Squid-3, this is not included in my
distribution! I don't want to compile squid every time when there is a
bugfix.

Regards!
