Well since you (Renato B. Joves, Jr.; Systems Engineer, Trend Labs)
blatantly plugged your product on the list, then here go my questions.
1. What URL(s) can I check out to find information on your Linux-based
anti-virus program(s)? I'm having difficulty finding them in
<http://www.trendmicro.com/>.
2. At what frequency do you release updates to your scanning engine and
virus data file? I've been a long-time user of McAfee (on our Winblows
clients, of course, I'm still looking at doing server-side virus
scanning), and am happy with the intervals at which they release updates.
And to everyone else:
Has anybody compared NAI VirusScan with TrendMicro's on Linux? I'm
thinking that since this will be scanning a lot of stuff (I'm looking at
automatically checking the files in our Samba shares as well as e-mail
through the Postfix MTA), performance and resource utilization of the
program is important. They're both virus scanners, but which of them will
be kindest to the server?
While a lot may argue that I should just keep the virus scanning on the
client workstations running Windows, it's cheaper in terms of licenses and
easier to maintain a central server setup. The workstations will still
need virus scan software installed for things they do like surfing the
web, but by having e-mail and most of the files handled by the server-side
virus scan, we reduce the urgency of keeping the workstation virus data
files updated.
Any thoughts?
