We're running Declude now with F-Prot and we want to add McAfee as a second virus scan.
I've got the VirusScan Suite with the Enterprise version as well as the command line scanner.
Has anyone done this successfully?
Yes -- lots of people. :) Declude Virus will work with all known virus scanners, with the exception of Norton (technically, you can use Norton, but they require a very expensive license to use Norton with any automated programs, even batch files).
I've turned off the real time scanning of the enterprise program and would integrate the
command line into the Declude config files, but how do I get automatic live updates
of the virus definition files if I'm using the command line scanner? ...
Also, is anyone using any other AV as well? I've looked at ClamAV (did I get that right?)
but it appears to be source only and not being a C programmer....
These would make excellent posts to the Declude Virus mailing list (see my previous post for how to join).
How much impact do you see running multiple AV? Big slow down?
In general, it will use up about twice the CPU time of a single virus scanner, without affecting other resources. The exact amount of CPU usage would depend on the specific virus scanners, but if you have a volume under 20,000 E-mails/day, there should be no concern (if you have a modern server you can scan much, much more than that, however -- over 100,000/day with two scanners).
