PC Virus scanning on *nix side?

[Timo Gatsonides]

You can use McAfee for example. (Like some others suggested look at NAI.com)
If you want to filter your (send)mail automagically, have a look at

http://satan.oih.rwth-aachen.de/AMaViS/

It can be set up to use McAfee / AVP / and a lot of others.

And McAfee is easy to update as well,
just put something like this in a crontab:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Get hourly DATs
#
cd /yourpath_to_scripts/AntiVirus
lynx -dump http://www.avertlabs.com/public/datafiles/HRLYDATS.ZIP >DATS.ZIP
#
if (cmp DATS.ZIP DATS.ZIP.OLD); then
        echo No difference between files;
else
	echo Updating HRLYDATS from AvertLabs for uvscan!
	#
	# Move old dats
	#
	mv -f *.dat old
	#
	unzip DATS.ZIP
	#
	# Sometimes uppercase names...
	mv SCAN.DAT scan.dat
	mv CLEAN.DAT clean.dat
	mv NAMES.DAT names.dat
	#
	mv -f DATS.ZIP DATS.ZIP.OLD
	#
	# copy to uvscan dir.
	cp -u *.dat /usr/local/lib/netafi
fi

Cheers,
