anti virus
Hi !!
IK use RH. I am looking for an anti virus (free of charge) that can do realtime protection ( thats run whan the system boots and stays in memory). does someone knows about such anti virus ? thanks |
helo
here is a free antivirus for linux workstation pc, but mostly people say that there is currently no need for any antivirus for Linux http://www.f-prot.com/products/home_use/linux/ Regards |
you could also try Dr. Web, which is what comes with Mandrake 9.2 i believe.

you can use clamav it can check 10000 viruses: http://clamav.elektrapro.com/

Can windows viruses affect linux if it's running wine or vmware?
|
NOPE only the windows in vmware is affected but nothing of LINUX is affected !!!
LINUX= virus free -- completely! |

there have been somthing like 20 virii / worms for linux since it was created... and about 4 are currently loose on the internet.. BUT... when there are billions for windows, and you have to be dumb enough to log in as root for the 4 possible linux virii to affect you,, you should be safe. just only install / compile from trusted locations... and if u dont trust, inspect the source code first. |
i would... if i understood it :newbie:
I guess the reason why there are so little virii available for linux is b/c almost everyone that can program for linux puts it to use in a positive way, and also the most blant fact being that windoze has sh*t loads of holes. I hope it stays this way.... :D |
I need an antivirus for RH box that works as mail relay ,so I need an anti virus that can be installed on that box and can detect viruses not only for linux .
which one can I use? thanks |
juanb, that depends of the mta that you use, i use redhat, qmail, qmail-scanner and clamav, works fine for me, good look
|
I know it isn't free, but Vexira works really well on our system. I am running Sendmail as the MTA on RH9. I am using the Milter version of Vexira and the annual license is trivial considering I am running a network of nothing but WinXP Pro machines on the Network and we all know how suseptable they are. Take a look at the website: www.centralcommand.com or just type in Vexira in your search engine. It's worth a look if you have any MS machines.
