Title: which antivirus are you using ?
Post by: Logan29 on October 01, 2008, 07:53:04 AM

hi, what antivirus are you using on your SMS server ? Is clamav reliable enough ? I have read that Bitdefender could also be installed.
What is your opinion on this ?

Thanks

I use clam on my server, and have had no problems. I use AVG on my windoze desktop, and it never reports a virus.

Hi.. I think that the 99.9% of users is using clamav on SME.. and yes, it is very reliable..

BTW, AV on SME (and on linux servers in general) make sense only if you have windows clients..

ClamAV on the SME server, Avira on the clients. So far no problems here  :-)

clamAV on the server, AVG on the clients. One infection (on a workstation) in 11 years  and that was from a user that downloaded an infected file from the www.

We run Clam on the SME server for email scanning. Symantec on the Windows clients and I cannot recall having heard that anything got caught the last 3 years. As something new we run DansGuardian with Clam on a Smoothwall based firewall to catch malware, virus, etc. when browsing. This could also be done on SME if it was running in gateway mode (I run it in server mode only).
