Okay, you could install virusscanners on all worstation, but my goal is to catch the virus and those damn pokémon BEFORE they can reach the workstations.
You should also install viruses software on the workstations because it is possible for users to get content a central scanner cannot scan (it is encrypted, comes through a channel it isn't looking at like or a different one entirely like a floppy disk, etc.).
Correct. A combination of server-based and client-based virus protection is considered as state-of-the-art. But please don't forget about user education! (do I have to mention the word backup, too ?! ;)))
Trend Micro makes viruswall, which runs on Linux (we use it) one nice thing it does (that amavis/etc can't do) is scan outgoing emails. Huh? That's wrong at least for AMaViS, AMaviS-Perl, (c)inflex and MIMEDefanger. A very nice solution is AV Mail Gate from H+B EDV, too, but it's not open source. But yes, you can't really compare AMaViS with InterScan VirusWall (ISVW).
http://www.antivirus.com/products/isvw/ Linux: Red Hat Linux 6.1 or above OR Turbo Linux 6.1J. It should work on SuSE.
We've been working together with Trend Micro (Germany), as there were some glitches on SuSE Linux. I own a copy of ISVW 3.6 Build 1122 for SuSE Linux 6.4 and 7.0. Trend Micro Germany published a press release some days ago. best regards, Rainer Link -- Rainer Link | SuSE - The Linux Experts link@suse.de | Developer of A Mail Virus Scanner (amavis.org) www.suse.de | Founder OpenAntiVirus Project (www.openantivirus.org)
