RE: Antivirus/Antispyware/Antiadware for linux?
I am running clamav attached to sendmail, seems to pick up viruses and some phishes...very easy to set up.
Adding clamav
Firstly download and install the clamav packages with apt-get.
clamav - Antivirus scanner for Unix
clamav-base - Base package for clamav, an anti-virus utility for Unix
clamav-daemon - Powerful Antivirus scanner daemon
clamav-freshclam - Downloads clamav virus databases from the Internet
clamav-milter - Fast antivirus scanner for sendmail
clamav-testfiles - Use these files to test that your Antivirus program works
libclamav1 - Virus scanner library
libclamav1-dev - Clam Antivirus library development files
Next insert the line below into /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and run sendmailconfig.
In sendmailconfig say yes to rebuild sendmail using existing sendmail.conf and sendmail.mc, then restart sendmail.
Clamav should now be active.
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter',`S=local:/var/run/clamav/clamav-milter.ctl, F=, T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl
define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `clmilter')dnl
>From now on your mail.log should show lines similar to below,

clamav setup should now be complete.

Hmmm... except F-Prot for Linux for the workstation is free for personal
use.
