CentOS - Aug 2012 - Good Anti-virus for Linux desktops and servers

Hi.

I'm look for an enterprise quality Anti-virus / Malware for my Linux
machines . Mostly Ubuntu on the desktop, CentOS and RHEL servers. I
must have real time scanning, on demand scanning, and centralized
management.

Is there anything out there that can do this ?

What are you planning to scan for?  Windows viruses on a mailserver?

whatever that means...

I think eset for business is cover all your needs. I use it more than 4 
years (mostly on windows, but from 2 years ago on 2 linux machines too). 
The remote administration is really good. But it's not cheap :)

Try kaspersky
It's best one

I'm not a fan of anti-crud on servers.  Put an astaro security gateway 
in front of your network and let it scan everything before it gets to 
your internal devices

The examples are pretty straight-forward.  Just make sure you are
looking at docs for samba-virusfilter and not the older docs for
samba-vscan.

Hi.

I'm look for an enterprise quality Anti-virus / Malware for my Linux
machines . Mostly Ubuntu on the desktop, CentOS and RHEL servers. I
must have real time scanning, on demand scanning, and centralized
management.

Is there anything out there that can do this ?

Just a final remark,
Most AV-scanners are not capable of detecting everything.
If you really want to protect Microsoft desktops behind your Linux machine, you
need multiple scanners serialized.

What's been said before, Kaspersky is really good specially compared with
clamav.
Last time I tried clamav with a population of captured viri, it only detected
60% of them.
BUT: ... it did detect the ones that Kasperky didn't.

So the combination of multiple different detectors (not specifically these two)
is advisable.
