Upgrades are not automatic, so watch the user list, or at least the announce list, for information on new versions. You should have some program verify that clamd and freshclam are running. I have running procs reported to my xymon server, and alert if either of those two daemons goes away, but there are plenty of ways to do that. If you are interested in 3rd party signatures, then there will be significantly more maintenance. A few Google searches should get you started on 3rd-party signatures. > Does it scan all kind of basic document types like Microsoft products, Adobe, > Txt files? Yes, and many not-so-basic types. Some of that scanning needs to be explicitly enabled - see the clamd.conf file for details. > > Where can I find the virus file that I can test my program with? eicar.com -- Daniel J McDonald, CCIE #2495, CISSP #78281, CNX Austin Energy http://www.austinenergy.com
