ftp://ftp.antivirus.com/products/freetools/ is where you can get it from,, here are my instructions I posted on how to do it all.. ================================================== I have just swapped to trend viruscan for linux... I thought I'd mention all the links and stuff, so that people can search the archives here if they want to know how it is done. Here is the url to download it, ftp://ftp.antivirus.com/products/freetools/ (the address listed in the "openantivirus" readme didn't work for me, but this one did... download filescanlinux.tar (when you untar it, it has install instructions and a pdf file) If the scanner install gives you a message that it wont' install because you don't have redhat release 6, (and you do have a modern linux)I got that message with mandrake 7.2, edit /etc/issue (create it if you don't already have one, go into /etc and type 'touch issue') and put the words "release 6" in it somewhere, you can delete it after install. (thats how the install program works out what version of linux you have) pretty lame method thinks me, but its a good thing that its lame if you don't have redhat. I have it working flawlessly on Mandrake and I don't think there would be much problem getting it working on other distro's. Here is the link to get the latest engine update, (the version I have now is "Virus Scanner v3.1") http://www.antivirus.com/download/engines/ Go to the Interscan viruswall table and look in the linux box. download that tarball. open the tarball, and copy the file in it into /etc/iscan, overwrite the file of the same name that's in there.(it might not be a bad idea to backup the old one in case there are problems.) thats your engine updated to their latest version. If for some reason the web manager pattern update feature doesn't work, (it didn't for me, think its a isp problem, we have a strange proxy.,) go here: http://www.antivirus.com/download/pattern.asp choose the linux tarball and you have the latest pattern file. Thats it,, This is a very comprhensive scanner for a freebie... much better then the network associates vscan I was using before,,, (admitadly an old version). the web interface is an exceptional feature... Thats it, I have yet to test this with all the virus's that I have on file for that purpose, and I will post the results when I do, but I am quietly confident. (I have since done this, and it passed ALL tests I threw at it... rgds frank -----Original Message----- From: Vincent A.Primavera [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 21 September 2001 4:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Fwd: Re: [expert] Virus protection... Hello, It is just called Filescan for Linux after all. But, it appears that Trend took it off of their website and I can't find it anywhere else :o{ Thank you, Vincent A. Primavera.
