It should allow to configure several engines and allow to set automatic scans, updates, launch scans for defined folders etc. It should also provide some easy autoconfigurator for apparmor as a behavioral antivirus. That is also easy for beginners. Discussion: #1: Richard Colvin (allianux) (2010-09-25 15:29:11) It would be nice to have YAST manage the AntiVirus protection as a frontend with say CLAM AntiVirus as a backend. It could also be another AV backend? As for a frontend to CLAM AV, the KLAM AV is reliant on KDElib3 packages which is not a great thing when using KDE-4 or GNOME etc (yes there is CLAM TK and others) Could this YAST module also not be linked into APPARMOUR? Not sure, just a thought? As linux and Opensuse become more widely used the threat of viruses will only increase and we should not be caught out. OpenSUSE should have a policy and means of dealing with this. Or are we already 100% ready on the AV front and I'm just ignorant? + #2: Hans de Raad (hcderaad) (2011-03-25 12:23:55) + Imho, this kind of configuration module in Yast would be very useful. + Especially if combined with multiple threatmanagementapplications, like + fail2ban, rkhunter, clamav, amavisd, apparmor, selinux, firewall, etc, + etc. + Most of the current applications (KlamAV, ClamTk) are aimed at the end- + user, a systemwide configurator would really be very desirable. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309381
