******Message from InterScan E-Mail VirusWall NT******

I tried the Linux version of this software. When I tried to install it the software gave me a message which said that InterScan VirusWall only works with Red Hat software.

There is a SuSE version of TrendMicro InterScan Viruswall. You can download it from Trend Micro's German site (not the .com site!). I gave it a try. It seemed to work ok (at least for me) but the license's price is very abusive (in my opinion). Then I tried Amavis -free- (www.amavis.org, you can use the SuSE built-in version which comes with the SuSE CDs though) and.. I'm still using it. Amavis works pretty well (Q: is it possible to configure Amavis to send info about the virus detected to the recipient person? Currently it only tells that a "virus have been found" and includes original mail's headers but it doesn't tell which virus was found; this last info is sent only to the postmaster or virusalert's mail address you have defined but not to the recipient or sender address). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ** RoMaN SoFt / LLFB ** roman@madrid.com http://pagina.de/romansoft ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hi2all Here is the download/update page in english for antivir: http://www.hbedv.com/downloads.htm ; http://www.hbedv.com/fuse.htm here you can register the copy http://www.antivir.de/order/privreg/order_e.htm (it's free for personal use, and allow you to use all features) this is the manual in english http://www.hbedv.com/files/antivir/manual/h_avx_e.zip and the GUI in english: http://www.geiges.de/tkantivir/index_en.htm I also can not understand a word in german, but never had any problem in using this on suse 6.2-7.0 ;) [ ]'s bacano ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard" To: Sent: Monday, February 26, 2001 2:24 PM Subject: [suse-security] Re: InterScan eManager Content Management Notification!

Didn't know that Bill Gates had signed a deal with Red Hat :)

I would use the virus software that comes with SuSE 7.0/7.1 but all of it is in German and I can't understand a word of it. So, I can't get a virus scanner working on my system.

Thanks

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.
