Hi, everyone. Would really appreciate some insight into the issue of running an antivirus program with SuSE 9.1. I installed the Antivir program from the SuSE DVD. Questions: 1) How do I know if it's running? I seem to recall that when I installed previous versions of SuSE I ticked a box during the install process to run the A/V program. But I don't recall seeing that tick box with 9.1. Where can I check to see if the A/V program is running? 2) When I installed the antivir program this time there was a prompt in the lower right hand corner of the YAST screen to register the product at www.hbedv.com So I went there but never found the screen to register. However, while searching that site I found two other A/V programs for Linux. I downloaded both. Should I unpack and install either or both of these? What will they do for me that the SuSE A/V program won't do? The two files I downloaded are: avixmgt.tgz (AntiVir Mailgate Linux) avlxwks.tgz (AntiVir Linux Workstation) Thanks! :o) Gil

Do you really want to/need to run antivir like antivirus programs in windows? It can be done .. I tried that for a test .. depending on your choices when it should look .. will really slow down your pc. It can be tricky . suggest you read the files in antivir and dazuko. Most importend .. you need to install.. 1- kernel-source. 2- Dasuko .. compiled as a module to load in kernel .. if you update the kernel this no longer works. 3 setup antivir.

Could be necessary if you are running a file server for MS machines. Also has anyone be able to compile and insmod dasuko on an smp machine? -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)

Hai Gil, 1. You can check from yast control center => misc => view startup log => it should be a line with "Starting AntiVir: avupdater" or you can check with shell-kosole, with root logon (SU command) and type antivir --help, this is antivirus command line scanner. you can check your harddisk, your windows partition, etc... 2. If you use this application for personal/private, you can go to http://www.hbedv.com/en/support/unix_private_registration/index.html, fill the form and they will send registration file to your email. Put/copy this registration file to your antivir directory (usr/lib/Antivir). 3. you should find avmailgate at your suse dvd, it's just the same as in their website. avmailgate is application for email gateway or email proxy, so every time you send email, avmailgate will check it first and resend to other port. for setup this avmailgate, see the manual at /usr/share/doc/packages/avmailgate/readme.suse hope it can help;-) Angga On Tue, 2004-06-15 at 20:21, Gil Weber wrote:
