RE: [U2] [UV] Anti-virus recommendations for Universe on Windows?

Yes obviously it is better to have a virus scanner if you can. But I was
trying to point out why they can have such a massive effect on U2
databases and why IBM don't recommend them for U2 databases.

Ideally the best way is to design your network and systems so that a
virus can't reach your back end systems anyway. This is the approach
that we have taken and it is very successful.

 I'd prefer the entire file to be scanned every time. You never know if
a
virus is slowly plugging its bits into a file. A diff check on a file
will
not detect a known virus signature. The signature would be spread all
over
the file. Look at the B1  virus. It destroys FAT partitions by taking
its
time and deleting a link here and there. Nothing major to start with,
until
your files start to blow up one by one. :P

 A well programmed scanner with heuristic analysis can blaze through a
200MB
file. "Most virus scanners" is a harsh term, considering I've seen
100-200%+
performance difference in scanning with 3 or 4 different scanners
checking
the same files. Every virus scanner has a focal point. Some focus on
run-time checking, while another may focus on batch scanning or protocol
sniffing. I've yet to find one that does it all extremely well and
doesn't
interfere with performance on a regular basis. F-PROT is about the best,
overall, for all platforms. AVG is a great well-rounded tool for
Windows.
Panda isn't bad, but I still feel it's over marketed for what's really
there. I remember them badgering me @ Comdex `99, every time I walked by
their booth. Maybe I'm biased now? Sophos is OK, but it's popular enough
to
be a direct virus target. Does Sophos have integrity measures, to assure
its
own files can't be changed? I don't know how many times I've had to
re-install Norton AV due to direct infection. I'm sure there are some
other
scanners that I haven't road-tested. For the most part, I'm happy with
AVG
on Windows and don't wanna look any further at the moment. If I was
running
X-windows, I'd have F-PROT running. After all, it was one of the first
scanners and they have it down to a science now. I had the free version
running on DOS 6.22 for my BBS back in the early 90's. Scary eh?

<< so it only scans files that have changed.>>

That's the problem with most virus scanners. Consider a 200mb file with
a million records in it. What do you think the virus scanner is going to
do each time a record (even one character) is changed in that file?

Some of them must be intelligent enough to only access the parts of the
file that have changed, such as the higher level backup programs do now.
But I bet the majority will just see the file as changed and scan the
whole thing.

I don't use U2 on Windows, but I know that Sophos takes a very

 Check out AVG. It's fairly inexpensive and it runs well on Win2K and up.
Norton hinders more than it helps. I remove all copies of the NAV stuff from
OEM PCs. I've never had anything but problems from it. Grisoft uses Inktomi
for their updates, so upgrades and updates are typically fast. Plus, it's
not a famous virus scanner, so trojans and bugs won't look for scanner files
to mask. I dunno how many times NAV has gotten infected before it even knew
there was a virus!

Based on past IBM recommendations as well as previous threads on this
list, we recommend to our clients that they not install AV on their
universe servers, at least not in real-time mode. They need to find
other ways to protect that server.

In particular, when clients ignore our advice and run the AV in
real-time on the server, we have found that McAfee and Universe don't
seem to play nice - data integrity problems, major performance hit, etc.
Other AV products seem to be ok in terms of data integrity but also
cause major performance hit.

We now are considering installing McAfee AV on the Universe servers anyway
in light of this event.  Does anyone have any recommendations regarding how

Symantec/Norton, AVG, F-Prot, etc?
