Much better in Linux to focus on updating your packages, getting patches for vulnerabilities and keeping a general watch on security versus wasting time with phantom viruses. Now, if you have windows clients, it can be very useful to run an AV app to scan their messages for viruses to keep them from getting compromised.

First it should be said that there are currently very few viruses that can affect a linux distribution, so from that point of view you probably don't need one. The majority of viruses in the wild exploit vulnerabilities in M$ software and/or operating system. The main reason for installing one under linux is to prevent infected mail/downloads coming in, then being relayed to unprotected windows machines. If this is your concern I can recommend Kaspersky - I use their software on all our windows machines. It is not free software, but you get a full year's worth of signature updates, which are updated daily if you require that level of protection, and support if you ever run into trouble either with the software or a new virus.

Here is some info I wrote about 15 months or more ago,, I posted it on both the newbie and expert pages... hope it helps. rgds Frank I have just swapped to trend viruscan for linux... I thought I'd mention all the links and stuff, so that people can search the archives here if they want to know how it is done. Here is the url to download it, ftp://ftp.antivirus.com/products/freetools/ (the address listed in the openantivirus readme didn't work for me, but this one did... download filescanlinux.tar (when you untar it, it has install instructions and a pdf file) If the scanner install gives you a message that it wont' install because you don't have redhat release 6, (and you do have a modern linux)I got that message with mandrake 7.2 onwards, edit /etc/issue (create it if you don't already have one, go into /etc and type 'touch issue') and put the words release 6 in it somewhere, you can delete it after install. (thats how the install program works out what version of linux you have) pretty lame method thinks me, but its a good thing that its lame if you don't have redhat. I have it working flawlessly on Mandrake and I don't think there would be much problem getting it working on other distro's. Here is the link to get the latest engine update, (the version I have now is Virus Scanner v3.1) http://www.antivirus.com/download/engines/ Go to the Interscan viruswall table and look in the linux box. download that tarball. open the tarball, and copy the file in it into /etc/iscan, overwrite the file of the same name that's in there.(it might not be a bad idea to backup the old one in case there are problems.) thats your engine updated to their latest version. If for some reason the web manager pattern update feature doesn't work, (it didn't for me, think its a isp problem, we have a strange proxy.,) go here: http://www.antivirus.com/download/pattern.asp choose the linux tarball and you have the latest pattern file.

RE: [newbie] Antivirus
Ok, a slightly more elaborate response from someone who's recently come over to Linux, asked himself the same question, and eventually figured out a kind of answer :) There is nothing magical about Linux that makes it immune to viruses (this will probably put me on loads of hate-mail lists). Viruses get into your average PC through two routes: 1/ you get a game/application off your mate/from a warez website/whatever and install it. It contains a virus which you unwittingly install. This is more difficult on Linux than with Windows, for various reasons, but I'll give you just one: as Linux is a small community, people tend to know one another. If a website put up a number of applications that were deliberately infected, it wouldn't take long for the word to get round. 2/ you receive an infected email. This route relies heavily on Microsoft Outlook's weaknesses, combined with non-techy users. With Outlook you can install and run an infected email attachment with just a click. This is just not possible with Linux, due to the way new applications get installed. A final point is to think of computer viruses as being like biological viruses: they spread easier in a large target population that's in regular contact with other members and doesn't pay enough attention to hand-washing. At the moment that's the Windows world. Linux is like John the Baptist, all alone in the desert ;-) I wouldn't bet that when Linux takes over the world there won't be loads of Linux viruses around...

Re: [newbie] Antivirus
If anyone needs extra confirmation that virii are possible under Linux, you might want to pay attention to a thread going on this week over on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail list. Someone has written a Virus HOWTO for Linux, and the maillist is discussing whether they should publish it. The discussion is all in good taste, with points being made related to not attempting to achieve security through obscurity and so forth. Here's an excerpt from a post by David Merrill (actually, I quoted almost the entire post): quote Okay, there's disagreement on the Virus HOWTO. Here's what we'll do. Alexander, you post your html on your website, or let me know and I'll post it on mine. Everyone interested in resolving the issue will read the document. If you haven't read it, you can't offer an intelligent opinion. Then, we can discuss the *specific* problems, if any, and find solutions. As things stand, there is enough disagreement that we should not publish it as is, but should not abandon it either. We should identify any specific problems, Alexander will deal with them, and we can move on. Please? :-) We cannot expose the LDP to legal risks. That means we need a strong disclaimer and an orientation that is at least equally about protection, IMO. And there is strong sentiment from some people that we *not* publish something primarily oriented toward helping black hats. Alexander, if you're comfortable with making sure it doesn't read that way, I think we will have little or no resistance to publishing it. -- David C.

Re: [newbie] Antivirus for Linux?
As long as you don't run everything as root, or change the ownership of all your files to a common user, you should be safe. Linux is not vulnerable like Windows due to a bit of common sense during the design stage. Note that Macintosh systems are not as vulnerable as Windows either. The MS way of thinking is If you can't make it good, make it look good. They don't care what goes in the box, as long as the box is pretty and will make them a quick buck. Security is very important in the Linux world. A lot of effort goes into making sure that the programs you use are secure and are not easily exploitable. Developers help this effort by making their program open source so that others may review their code and find any trouble spots that they may have overlooked. That being said, Linux is vulnerable to other types of security problems, but there are a lot of things that you can do to ensure that your system and your data remains safe such as disabling any services you don't use, using a firewall, etc. A lot more options than I can go over here and you were asking about antivirus software and not security in general anyway. -Gary On Friday 02 November 2001 10:40 am, you wrote: I read that it's not necessary to install an antivirus for Linux.

Re: [newbie] Antivirus software on Linux?
There are no anti-virus programmes for GNU/Linux -- the main reason for this being the lack of virii for this OS. UNIX/Linux virii usually exploit security holes in software. In every case security fixes had been available long before the attacks. In other words, the few who were affected by virii suffered only because they had not kept their systems up-to-date with the latest packages. The best virus protection you can have is to keep you system up-to-date with the latest official Mandrake package releases. Software Manager is ideal for this. In the M$ world, things are different. M$ don't bother fixing the holes that virii exploit, instead delegating the job to virus scanning companies, who can merely scan for virii, not fix the holes.. This means you have to frequently scan your discs, and if something *does* get through the protection (no virus scanner is 100% accurate) you're seriously stuffed. You may see virus scanners available for GNU/Linux -- these are made to detect Windows viruses (which can't harm GNU/Linux at all). This can be useful if you have multiple OSs installed, or if you share a network with WIndos boxes.

Re: [newbie] Antivirus software on Linux?
This just proves the point I made earlier. If you look below you shall notice I said: quote You may see virus scanners available for GNU/Linux -- these are made to detect Windows viruses (which can't harm GNU/Linux at all). This can be useful if you have multiple OSs installed, or if you share a network with WIndos boxes. /quote These programmes are no different. If you look at the Technical Information introduction (http://www.amavis.org/amavis.html#intro), you will see it says: quote Most people will say: A virus scanner? For UN*X? Why? Viruses do not work in a UNIX environment. On the first glance they are right (even if there are at least two viruses which run under Linux - well, actually they are Trojan Horses). On the second view though, imagine a heterogene network environment with both UN*X and DOS / Windows / Macintosh workstations. Now think of an UN*X server that serves Windows and/or Macintosh workstations via a POP3 service. Would it not be nice to ensure attachments coming via email are scanned for viruses before they reach a system they are able to infect? Well - that is what this package is for. It resides on the server that handles your incoming mails. When a mail arrives, instead of being delivered via procmail directly, is parsed through a script that extracts all attachments from the mail, unpacks (if needed) and scannes them using a professional virus scanner program. /quote In other words, these scanners do run on GNU/Linux, but scan for WIndows virii. This ensures that all e-mail is clean *before* it retreived onto a system that is capable of being infected. On Tue, 12 Jun 2001 03:33, Michael D. Viron wrote: Actually, that isn't the case.
