Avira antivirus software instructs to get it, install it and run it
purvis:
Only on 1 machine did i have problems , the software was loaded up 4 days and then one day it failed to run , likely due to the software's own code. I think internet updates. Even Clamav has had a lot of issues and continues to have issues.
That is the reason for the post on having others to hold off.
It is hard sometimes to find and reproduce what ever caused the issue.
Nobody can work on this stuff for hours on end. I
There is no way anybody can be assured software is going to work.
But it is great to have a heads up of possible problems.
Which is what I done.
I am thinking if we can get three good dependable stable antivirus software running dependably, specially with incoming emails.
This would spark a lot attention to SME SERVER and help me out as well. In order to do that, we may need four antivirus programs to allow for problems with the possibility of one not working. I see this doable.
SME surely needs more than just Clamav for incoming emails from what i have seen lately.

I am puzzled and surprised that you want or feel you need 3 anti virus solutions running on the server.
Do you really have all available antivirus features functioning fully & correctly now ?
ie
RBL's enabled (RHSBL & DNSBL) ?
with suitable RBL list sources enabled eg spamhaus & so on ?
executable content rejection including zipv1 file blocking ?
spam filtering & rejection enabled (custom level set) ?
additional spam learning techniques (Bayesian & Learn As Spam etc) ?
Greylisting (recommended by some & not by others) but it will kill spam & viruses almost instantly to zero ?
Is your sme server in gateway & server mode (for best rejection) or are you behind a router (many features are less effective or not effective at all) ?
If you are doing all of the above (except greylisting) & they are properly & adequately configured, I am surprised you have such a big problem.
If your situation is that bad then perhaps you need to enable greylisting, and if you are using greylisting then you should have no viruses or spam at all.

purvis.. if this is true, please explain your problem (or what you are trying to achieve).. your solution maybe wrong (but your testing and scripting activity no)
thank you

Mary, some of your suggestions have helped.
If i knew that all spam marked emails where true spam, I could get rid of much of it.
Our emails are need to be seen. We can delete those on a email notifier without an issue.
Yes most of the viruses are getting marked as spam but not all.
I have some tricks i might be trying later concerning geoip.
Geoip will not stop a email where the original email account sender came from an unwanted country.
Seems Geoip will only stop a email server from another country.
That is another issue.
I am continuing with virus detection, the effort is worth it.
Thanks Paul

Linux is still strange to me.
Prelinking what is that? Seems to be a linux speedup feature i was not aware of.
Following the below webpage, i am editing the /etc/prelink.conf file and placing
--- Code: ----b /usr/lib/AntiVir/
--- End code ---
During the install of Avira, it mentioned prelinking may cause problems but i had overseen that.
So I will seeing what happens next. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this solves the problem.
