Since I've now received over 30 responses to my question about anti-virus software for Sun servers, I figure its about time to put out the summary. <grin> I also want, once again, to Thank everyone for the time and responses. Getting 30+ responses in less than 24 hours is really appreciated! Here's the original question: ============================ Last time I checked, there really wasn't any anti virus software available for Solaris itself, merely attachments/modules for specific applications. IS this still the case or does any one know of any anti-virus desktop-like software similar to McAfee or Norton Windows offerings? The responses: ============= Almost everyone pointed out the fact that they are no known actual UNIX viruses (virii?), only Windows type virus that can be in e-mails bound for users' desktops via sendmail, or a few http based versions. This was the answer as I suspected was true and was trying to re-confirm. However, there were several recommendations of products for the sendmail/http applications to catch the aforementioned Windows-based virii, so I will tabulate those: 7 TrendMicro/antivirus.com 9 sophos 4 McAfee/uvscan 1 each for tripwire, VFfind/cyber, and amavis Again - thanks to everyone for the quick responses. As usual, this list comes shining thru.
