Subject:   AV programs

Hi,

Do any eCS users use an antivirus program?
Can't say i've had any problems without one.
However on noting that ClamAV was available, I tried installing it and 
frankly can't understand how it is used or whether i've installed it 
properly. There seem to be so many options that it's ridiculous.

Regards,

Alan Duval

Norton Antivirus still works on OS/2 - the latest signature files can be 
obtained by going to the download area for Linux - the file format is 
identical.

And if you want auto-update: ....

although Symantec state they have stopped support for the OS/2 	 
product, along with the windows Norton CE editions, the following 
work 		around to use the Linux versions live update files has been posted:
You can workaround that problem by doing the following:
	
Edit NAVLUOS2.INI to the following:
-----
[NAVLUOS2]
									 
PacketName=ftp://update.symantec dot com/public/deutsch/virus_signaturen/
norton_antivirus_corp/rapidrelease/ennlu.lin
UserName=anonymous
Password=notmyemail at nowhere dot net
----
Save the file and you are done. NAV will work as before.
    Explanation: These are signatures for a Linux product, the structure 
of the package is the same as it was for OS/2, the only difference are 
two .DLLs for OS/2 (which haven't been changed for ages), instead of 
these two come two binaries for Linux which are completely ignored by 
the installer. The signatures however are updated successfully.

Cheers/2

Ed.
