www.clamav.net -- it passed my test.  This is a really cool project, virus scanners are so big and commercialized that a free one, if it has the right features (stuff like realtime scan and whatnot -- I haven't got a clue if it does or not), it can do well. 

Just thought people might be interested in the free alternative :)

Neat! I wonder how it compares to other free offerings like my personal favorite Avast! or AVG?

I've never heard of nor tried those.  I like that this compiled/ran on Linux :)

No, clamav doesn't have realtime scanning (I'm assuming you're talking about scanning files as they're accessed).  It's an excellent virus scanner though.  I've ran it on my (relatively low traffic) mail server for about six months now, and it hasn't missed a beat yet.  It's even caught some trojans, which even some commercial virus scanners can't always claim to do.

Somebody should write it, then.  I wonder how hard it would be to add that kind of functionality.

Giving it a run in Windows. I'll see how it fares. :)

Well, *refrains from swearing* it's a great way to lock your computer up. :(

I like my McAfee Virusscan

McAfee is welfare.  We got their IPS system at work for a pilot, and their software doesn't even work, so they got us to send them an error log, and they gave us an email address which doesn't work.  So we've gone for over two weeks without being able to get it to work.  This doesn't reflect well on McAfee as a whole :)

Yeah, I'm bringing up a dead thread, but clamav is worth it.  I checked my spam catch mailbox today, and found a phishing e-mail in it.  Checked the full headers for the e-mail, and saw:

QuoteX-Amavis-Alert: INFECTED, message contains virus: HTML.Phishing.Bank-91

That's pretty damned neat when it can detect phishing attempts.

iago, you have a collection of viruses you just leave there? Do you have an anti-virus that makes it so they can't do any spreading or something?

First, that's a Linux system he's running on and those're Windows viruses, so they couldn't infect that system even if he did try to run them.  Second, it's quite safe to have a virus on disk as long as you don't run it.

That's correct.

I save all the viruses I find in my email/otherwise for no good reason.  Although if I ever need to test a virus scanner, I can very easily.  Who needs Eicar? :)

AVG is good but still miss's some things.

Post by: Intangir on January 31, 2005, 11:35 AM
seems good, sometimes the update servers are done and i get an error report
but mostly it works fine

(it auto downloads updates, if the servers are up)

no viruses have gotten thru our email, but then again i doubt anyone is really sending viruses to our email ;) i should probably check and see if it has logged virus mail attempts
