Anti-Virus Suggestions

Muhombo · 01-03-2003, 09:54 PM

I am implementing a RedHat 8.0 server and would like suggestions on reliable anti-virus solutions. I currently use Norton AV 2002 on a few 2000 servers but from what I can tell they do not offer anything for Linux. Ideally, I would like to use a single provider that offers solutions for both 2000 and Linux.

Thanks.

Thanks to you both for the replies. My main concern is email protection because we will be using the sendmail engine with Windows clients. I will take a look at Sophos and the many other suggestions I found after taking Chris' advice.

Thanks again.

There are a lot of commercial solutions that work on M$ and Linux.
Are 100% that Norton doesn´t have a Linux prog?
I thought they did.Kaspersky has one and there are others,too.
Forget about open source virus protection in a production environment.

If Norton does, I can't see any advertising on their site. Do you agree that protecting sendmail should be concern in my configuration?

Thanks.

Panda software offers for both.

Norton does not. Maybe for Solaris (but not sure)

They were a bit annoyed getting to know that we only have other *nix servers. Later they seriously tried to convince us to buy an NT in order that we can use their internet gateway solution.

We rather choosed a free solution.
