Does anyone know of a quality virus scanning program for Linux? I don't mean ClamAV! I've had way too many issues with that program and with the developers refusing to listen to me when I say something doesn't work. I mean something like Norton or McAffee. I know that there was a program that McAffee had that was called uvscan, but I'll be darned if I can remember where to find it, and I can't be sure it would be compatible with modern kernels anyway (I recall you had to call it with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.2 prefixed or it wouldn't even run at all, just freeze - and that was on a 2.4.x kernel, never mind 3.x.y kernels). I'm not opposed to paying a little for it, but I don't want a full email package like some companies want to sell me (Symantec comes to mind). I just want a simple command line scanner that will accept multiple files on the command line (a bug that I never could get the ClamAV developers to recognize as a bug! They kept insisting that it was CORRECT for the line "clamscan file1 file2 file3" to search for a SINGLE FILE called "file1 file2 file3" instead of scanning file1, file2 and file3) and give a non-zero return code on virus found, zero return code on no virus found.
Any tips are most welcome. As usual, please include a URL. If someone is using the old McAffee uvscan program with a modern Linux distro, would you mind pointing me to the location you got it from and telling me any special tweaks you need to get it working (besides the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.2, of course)?
