Hi Ow,
I forgot to mentioned that I am looking to integrate Squid with
ClamAV (if thats possible).
As I mentioned, I'm not sure if it's possible but what I do know and
_fear_ is the extra processing overhead associated with virus scanning
on a Squid Box.
Unless you've got lots of muscle on the box.
Actually my aim is to integrate something onto squid that makes squid
antiviral capable,
I've frankly never heard of such an integration.
and also able to block downloaded files with certain
extensions such as mp3, exe etc.
You can already do that with squid itself.
There are a few ways
1. Using regular expressions
acl NoAudioFiles req_mime_type -i ^audio/mpeg
or
acl NoAudioFiles rep_mime_type -i ^ audio/mpeg
or
acl NoAudioFiles url_regex ^\.mp3$
and
http_access NoAudioFiles deny
http_reply_access deny NoAudioFiles
req_mime_type = Content-Type Header of the client's HTTP request.
rep_mime_type=This is based on the response from the origin server.
(might be better then req_mime_type which only is useful to prohibit
PUT/POST requests)
Thats what my system administrator told me, but seems lke ClamAV is for
use with qmail. And only use for antivirus, not for blocking files with
certain extensions.
I believe that clamav or qmail can be configured to remove those
particular extension files.
Thanks anyway Ow,

Dear all,
I am trying to find a good step by step or How-to guide about
installation and everything about ClamAV, does anyone know where can I
get it? I found the official site of ClamAV but seems like the
information in there is quite limited.
You'll find lots of help on the clamav-users mailing list, see
www.clamav.net
for details.
Hmm.. are you looking at integrating squid and clamav?? If not, why is
this being posted here?
I've no experience in running clamav with squid and neither do I think
that it is worthwhile.
Most viruses come in via email anyway.
And running clamav on a squid box will surely grind it to a screeching
halt due to the extra processing overhead
Thanks all
