  Another question, for the SMTP traffic, does Webshield detect 
virus-infected attachements (attachements could be in any of the following 
formats UUENCODE,ZIP or MIME) ?

We are currently evaluating WebShield.  It sits inboard of your firewall -
one
NIC connects to your firewall and the other NIC connects to your internal
network.  It uses promiscuous mode NICs to handle all traffic, scans
ftp/smtp/http traffic for viruses, and passes all scanned traffic on.  It is 

"transparent" - there are no interactions directly with the WebShield - and
"cannot be bypassed" - all traffic must go through the WebShield machine.

     I am in the process of evaluating two of the virus-check products one
is "WebShield" by Mcafee and the other one is "InterScan VirusWall".
VirusWall comes with FTP proxy and SMTP proxy servers so I believe I have to 

change the configuration of ProxySetup of the Netscape clients (am I right?) 

or it will be totally invisible as far as the clients are concerned?

     And how WebShield will work? In the documents it is said that the
product is "Completely Transparent and cannot be bypassed by users" anybody
has any idea about those issues?

     Thanks
