Hey Guys, We have a central server which runs centos, most of the client machines run on windows. Does anybody know of a solution whereby we can manage antivirus for all the clients from the centos server? I know there are management consoles for managing antivirus on windows but we dont want to run a windows server.. Anybody have any ideas? Or are we just screwed and need to have a windows server for this? Thanks, Wayne -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have used clamav on a Fedora Core 4 and Fedora Core 5 units for quite some time and very pleased. I am getting ready to upgrade both of those servers with CentOS 5 and plan to use clamav on both.

They make several server products for Windows and Linux. Their pricing is usually based on number of clients. I've used their M$ email server product and it worked well. No experience using it with Linux though.

Formerly known as H+BEDV Datentechnik GmbH, it's now Avira, with solutions for Win, Linux, BSD, Solaris: -- All products: http://www.avira.com/en/products/index.html -- For mailservers: http://www.avira.com/en/products/antivir_for_mailserver.html -- For the desktop: (i) Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic (free for personal usage): http://www.free-av.com/antivirus/allinonen.html (ii) Premium, commercial editions: http://www.avira.com/en/products/personal_premium.html (iii) Even better, AntiVir Workstation: http://www.avira.com/en/products/avira_antivir_workstation.html -- For SMB (SmallBusiness Suite): http://www.avira.com/en/products/smb_suites.html I has no virus problems since I am using them. You can try the free one, http://www.free-av.com/antivirus/allinonen.html -- to me, it's even better than AVG (which also missed some trojans a few years ago). The caveat of the free one is that it can't scan e-mails, but an eventual attached virus will be caught when you'd try to run it. There is also Panda, but it needs Dazuko: http://beranger.org/index.php?page=3k&article=971 Cheers, R-C Be smarter than spam.

Hey Guys, Thanks to everybody who responded to my first email.. Been thinking about this a bit more. Does anybody know if its possible to have all desktops running antivirus logging alerts and to a central linux server which could log to mysql? Would be really handy for reporting. I can see that the updates can be downloaded from a share on a linux server but Im wondering about storing logging data and maybe configuration? Pretty much everything out there these days has a way to log into sql except I can find an antivirus that can do this? Then our current centos server could be a central console for all the antivirus apps on the client windows machines.. Is this possible? To have antvirus alerts logged to sql centrally? Would be pretty sweet... Thanks, Wayne -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
