Comment
Per: http://iss.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/iss.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=5417 Although the Virus Prevention System technology was, at one time, incorporated into the IBM Proventia Network MFS and the Proventia Network Mail appliances, this capability was removed in Jan 2008. For this reason, this vulnerability does not apply to these product lines. The Virus Prevention System technology is currently incorporated into Proventia Desktop. However, the Proventia Desktop product is not affected by this evasion. No other IBM ISS products currently incorporate the Virus Prevention System technology.
