Hi All,

I'm trying this out. Just info for you guys if you are having memory issues or speed issues.
Note however doing so will not use clamd's alternative databases for phishing and other stuff.
Unless you use both together.

Clamd takes about 500-600Meg ram with 300+Meg resident
AVG takes about 281Meg with 172M resident

Get the rpm version

When you try to do
rpm -Uvh <avg rpm> you'll get an error that because the EFA vm version uses 64bit. There are no 32bit libraries.

You need to do
yum install glibc.i686

Then run the rpm for avg install again.
Oh.. do a "service avgd start" since it is not started yet (note that it is already installed in chkconfig so it will start on reboot).
Then do "avgupdate"


Change your /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf
There is a line that says

Virus Scanners = clamd
Add avg to the line (if you want to run both)
or replace clamd with avg (if you feel avg is sufficient).
Restart Mailscanner with "service MailScanner restart"

Updates are done by MailScanner calling update_virus_scanners.

Good luck.

Regards,

Michael

Michael very informative post. thank you !

Michael just to be sure:

1) Have you tried MailScanner --lint from shell and see if avg is detected ?
2) Have you tried to send test virus (fake or true) and see if mailscanner detects it ?

Thx

Thanks Buzzzo, followed the above and it wasn't being picked up. Had to modify /etc/MailScanner/virus.scanners.conf, the avg line read: had to change it to: MailScanner --lint now scans with both virus scanners.

Hi,

I'm sorry, have you a mirror link for the installation package or have you the rpm file please ?
On AVG website, I've not found Linux version

Thanks.

Best regards.

I've found links : http://download.avgfree.com/filedir/ins ... 6.i386.rpm
http://download.avgfree.com/filedir/ins ... 386.tar.gz

I installed all free antivirus product available
Virus Scanners = avg f-prot-6 clamd sophos

Now clamd and sophos detect viruses normally but avg and fprot detect nothing
(I am sure that they works because they detect eicar file when i send it)

So i decided the best solution :
clamd and sophos and i will remove Others if they cant find nothing in a week

I am writing a clear instruction of how install sophos, thai is free and have great detections

Please write me if you have a detection by AVG

I've not succeeded with AVG, but with F-Prot (viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1328) and Sophos it's OK for me

On my test :

when I try to execute some binaries :
have you a tip to resolve this problem ?
