Hi,
I'm running a Postfix mails-server that serves mainly Windows-clients, so a virus-scanner is needed. Up until recently I was running clamav and Norman. Unfortunately, Norman started misbehaving (needing huge amounts of disk-io, slowing down the server) and I had to disable it.
So I'm looking for some other virus-scanner besides clamav. Can anyone recommend a virus-scanner that runs under Linux with amavis ? I looked at some scanners, but they are Windows-only. I still need to look at the "big" ones (kaspersky, symantec) though.

Hmmm Koenraad, just curious, why are you wanting something besides clamav? I believe it integrates easily with Postfix, if I remember correctly from way back when I first tried and used Postfix. And here is a link even, that I just found - https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/313660:using-clamav-to-kill-viruses-on... (I don't use Postfix myself these days, but use Apache James instead, and I do know clamav integrates easily with James as a mailet. In fact Apache James config files come pre-configured to support clamav, so since Apache-James even supports it I figure the Apache folks must consider clamav a pretty good virus scanner.....) Nor do I have any experience with amavis, but note that Wikipedia reports that clamav integrates with it as well. Appears to be via using Postfix at the MTA, which in turn can integrate with clamav... If clamav is not up to doing as well as other virus scanners, maybe I should also consider integrating something else into my James server.....
