Re: Virus software?
There are some (rare) viruses that have been coded for both Windows and Linux, but they are compiled for the x86 platform. Unless you are talking about a true cross-platform executable (Java?, Flash?) or something created specifically for zLinux, then something coming from Windows isn't going to do anything on system z. The one case for having a virus scanner on zLinux is, as someone mentioned, to prevent zLinux from propagating an x86 infection to other boxes without being affected itself. Peter I've seen their type before -- the problem is real, their solution is nonsense, but they feel like everyone should line up behind them because the problem is real. - Anonymous -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Dean, David (I/S) Sent: January 17, 2013 09:27 To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: Virus software?

Your management probably isn't going to be interested in ClamAV, since there isn't a vendor per se, since it's an Open Source project--but hey, you'd have the source code. And, uh, I happen to know you could buy third-party support. It works quite well on Debian, and I assume it works fine on the other distros. They seem good about timely database updates. http://www.clamav.net. However, virus scanning is by its nature CPU intensive, so using your S/390 to do it may not be the right approach; of course that depends on how much CPU you have, how much scanning you need to do, and how badly you don't want to use the network to hand the workload to some other machine.
