Hi all,
I am very glad there is a nice graphical virus program for linux now. I am trying to not use microsoft at home. I use Linux Mandrake 10.2. After installing the softare by clicking it in konqueror, I was kind of surprised. Nothing hapened. There is no icon installed in the menutree. But luckilly the man page is installed nicely and it is found even when you do not know the exact location.
I do think an on access detection would be nice, since I communicate a lot with others whoi are using Windows. I could easilly infect them. This of course is their responability, they should use virus software also. But I would like to not send viruses around. And I do not check all my messages with avast first, before forwarding.
I did find some problems also:
- Some cache files seemed to be too big for scanning. Ok, not a big problem, But what if they were really big doc-files?
- a mail message on my imap server (I use one PC as mailserever, running mandrake 9) is supposed to have a virus. But putting it in the chest was not possible. I think because the program does not have sufficient rights on the server (I was scanning from the client PC).
Is there a plan for integration with evolution or thunderbird?
Best regards! And good luck with this good project!
