Network AV server

2005-06-08 Thread Joshua Lewis
Could someone point me in the right direction to create a network server
that scans networks systems for Virus and acts on the viruses accordingly.

I have a FreeBSD system that I would like to turn into a virus scanner
(among other things) but I don't know how or what scanners are available
and/or recommended.

Recommendations and links to possible how tos are welcome.


Thank you,
Joshua Lewis

Clam AntiVirus is a GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. The main purpose of 
this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment scanning). 
The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a 
command line scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via Internet. The 
programs are based on a shared library distributed with the Clam AntiVirus 
package, which you can use with your own software. Most importantly, the 
virus database is kept up to date .
