[SOLVED] best antivirus for server

qwertyjjj · 08-03-2009, 11:18 AM

I am going to have a server running centOS and squid proxy.
SHould I install an antivirus onto this server?
If so, what's the best one for linux?

Take a look at Clamav
or

for more

I assume if someone hacks in, they could put a trojan or something there but if I'm only running proxy server, presumably they could only hack into the proxy?

Perhaps you should concentrate on a good firewall, strong passwords, rkhunter ....

Did you installed it?
In debian it is in the repo's,
from a terminal run

Code:

# chkrootkit
# man chkrootkit

Thanks.
Is there a way to run these in the cronjob and have the output emailed?

On my box, the cronjob is installed automaticly.
Take a look in
/etc/cron/cron.daily
