Hell you could write a quick daemon in perl called "antivirusd" that runs and does alot of nothing and they would be none the wiser. On the other hand, I run virus scanners on linux boxes. On mail servers I use "sophie" cause it plugs into exim really well, and I use sophos (http://www.sophos.com) on my samba servers, for scanning smb shares. The samba servers also act as a central quarantine and reporting area. When the intercheck clients on the workstations encounter a virus, they move them to a write only portion of the samba server, then i get an email from said server alerting me to the virus. > We've been trying to install and configure TrendMicro's ServerProtect > Linux > product but continue to have problems.
