Vextra is the only one I know of that does real-time file scanning. It does it via a kernel module that intercepts file system calls. I haven't tried it, but I would assume the system would take a performance hit. At the company I'm currently working at McAfee was rolled out to all UNIX systems. (well over 1000 systems) It works well and they come out with new definitions pretty often. We are only doing nightly scans via cron using a custom wrapper script that automatically updates the dat file before it runs. It's nice because it also checks for UNIX trojans and backdoors as well as M$ viruses. Another good AV scanner is F-prot. It is free for non-commercial use and has an installer in the debian unstable branch. http://www.f-prot.com/products/home_use/linux/ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
