How to Set Up AntiVir in a Linux Server

Article Title: Guide for setting up AntiVir in Linux servers. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
Unlike Microsoft's Windows operating system, the linux operating system has almost a natural immunity against computer viruses. linux operating systems are not vulnerable to common computer viruses. Therefore, Linux is often used for sending emails to Windows clients on the internet, WWW and FTP servers.
　　
Anti-virus software designed by most software companies in the world is designed for Windows and DOS platforms, while few anti-virus software specially developed for LINUX platforms. This does not mean that anti-virus software is useless on the LINUX platform. AntiVir for Linux 6.0 is a professional anti-virus software from German company H + BEDV Datentechnik GmbH. H + BEDV said the company was the first company in the world to design professional anti-virus software for the LINUX platform. AntiVir for Linux 6.0 has multiple series. for different LINUX users, AntiVir for Linux 6.0 can be used on LINUX servers and LINUX workstations. AntiVir for Linux 6.0 provides real-time virus scanning in the LINUX operating system, and performs Enhanced authentication on linux sendmail to ensure the security of large mail servers and FTP servers.
　　
Major features of AntiVir for Linux 6.0:
　　
Scans all files on LINUX servers.
Scans files uploaded from a client to a linux ftp server.
Scan attachment files in emails to protect the security of the LINUX email server and prevent viruses from spreading through emails over the network.
　　
Install and use AntiVir for Linux 6.0:
　　
LINUX users can download an AntiVir for Linux 6.0 package from the following two websites.
　　
Http://www.hbedv.com
　　
Http://www.antivir.de [German].
　　
Like most LINUX software, AntiVir for Linux 6.0 also has rpm and tgz formats. For the rpm-format AntiVir for Linux 6.0, the installation process is quite simple. On the LINUX terminal, enter:
　　
Rpm-ivh avlxsrv_V6.12.00.00.rpm can be installed automatically. For software packages in tgz format, refer to the following installation method:
　　
Copy avlinux. tgz to the/tmp directory,
E.g.: mkdir/tmp/av. inst
Cd/tmp/av. inst
Cp/the-directory-containing-avlinux.tgz/avlinux. tgz.
Run the "tar xzvf avlinux. tgz" command to decompress the package.
Enter the decompressed directory and run "./install. sh" as the ROOT user ". The installation script automatically copies the relevant files to the/usr/lib/AntiVir directory of the system. Then, the installer prompts the user "create symbolic link? "(Create a symbolic connection), type" Y ", and the installer will create a symbolic connection to/usr/lib/AntiVir in the/usr/bin directory, in this way, you do not need to enter/usr/lib/AntiVir to start AntiVir every time.
Run the "rm-f/tmp/av. inst" command to clear the temporary directory.
　　
How to run AntiVir
　　
First, enter "antivir-h" in command mode to list all available functions of AntiVir. You can select the virus scan mode as needed. For example, you can enter antivir-allfiles to scan all files, and enter antivir-s to scan all subdirectories of the system. After detecting viruses in the antivir scan system, you can use antivir-del to delete files infected with viruses. The use mode of Antivir is basically the same as that of the DOS versions of anti-virus software such as Kingsoft drug overlord, KILL, and rising that we use on Windows platforms and the boot floppy disk created by anti-virus software, you can select different scan parameters for antivir to execute different tasks.
　　
After using antivir to scan the system, antivir will display a scan list. You can clearly understand the scanning results of antivir ,, this figure is the result of scanning all file directories using antivir-s under the root directory of LINUX system. The scanning speed of Antivir is quite fast. It takes only 7 minutes to scan tens of thousands of directories and nearly 30 thousand 5 thousand files.
　　
The use of Antivir in LINUX has great benefits for servers that provide FTP services. antivir can detect whether files uploaded by users to the FTP server carry viruses, virus-carrying files are not allowed to be written to the server's hard disk or downloaded again. This prevents the virus from spreading over the network. If you want to use antivir to scan the LINUX email server for viruses and find out the email attachments carrying viruses, you need an additional antivir module "AMaViS ". "AMaViS" is short for "A Mail Virus Infected". "AMaViS" can give/etc/sendmail to LINUX systems. the cf file is patched. "AMaViS" can check the attachment of the mails forwarded through the LINUX email server in the LINUX system, discover the virus, and report it to the system administrator. In this way, the security check on the email server can greatly reduce the possibility of virus attacks on the client, and further enhance the network security. AMaViS is a free software that complies with the GPL protocol. Free Download at the official website of AMaViS http://aachalon.de/AMaViS. H + BEDV also has a mail virus filtering software specially compiled for the LINUX email server. users who need this software can access the website of H + BEDV for download and use.
