Re: questions about anti virus tools in linux
I had to do this as well and I found out I can use bit defender and
sophos on the command line but sophos "delete the virus instantly" does
not work (esecially for cleaning zip-files)and bitdefender's recognition of viruses is not as good as
sophos is.
For the NTFS problem I struggled a lot with an alternative NTFS driver project
that can do write support (it is called "captive") but it can crash
unexpectedly and so I use now the native NTFS implementation that is in
the kernel now and have a deletion list generated by sophos, then
remount it with the "captive" driver for write support, let the
corrupted zip files be cleaned by bitdefender and delete the other files
by rm....well...discovery work ;)
good luck

I want to do some antivirus scan for my windows partitions in LiveCD, so, i
want to ask some questions about these tools.
1. As i know, clamscan and f-prot can do this work for me. but they seems
don't support NTFS.
2. My friend told me f-prot is too old to use. And in systemRescueCD and
Helix, these two kinds of liveCD all use clamscan. Does it mean clamscan is
better than f-prot?
3. As you know, Windows have so many virus, so, can anybody tell me any kinds
of tools in linux scanning virus for windows?
4. Does clamscan have user interface, or is it just command in terminal?
Thanks very much for any idea!!
