Hum, I'm sorry, but I have to say it's available for SuSE Linux 7.0/7.1, too. :-) At least from the German website of Trend Micro. It has been "ported" to SuSE Linux with the help from our R&D guys.
The problem arose from the U.S Trendmicro office. As far as I can see they assume that you either use MS Windows or Red Hat Linux. This is difficult to grasp for the first time user of their Linux software. I used to be one of their beta testers until I dropped MS Windows in the bin. I find that if you want A/V software they can be really good but their support department in the States was never reliable for anything.
Well, we ship H+B EDV AntiVir. You can get an english version from www.hbedv.com. You may have a look at http://www.openantivirus.org/av-unix_e.txt, too. It's a bit outdated - an update is on my to do list. But testing and bug fixing of amavisd (the rewritten version of amavis-perl) has a much higher priority right now. Support for sendmail's libmilter and postfix works quite well, but exim stuff is broken - qmail support is lacking completely *sigh* :-(
I think it's very good. But, up till now getting hold of some good English docs was difficult.
So, the chance to get a virus scanner working on you system is really good :-)
Yes, I've contacted Trendmicro in Germany and I'll have another look at Amavis. It's e-mail scanning that I'm really interested in. Thanks Richard Sheffield Linux User's Group http://www.sheflug.co.uk Microsoft products are not installed here.
