I've swallowed my pride and installed Avira Antivir 3 for UNIX. It was a bit of a faff to install but once done it was groovy. However there's no GUI for it so avoid if you're scared of the CLI.

It's really, really good and bugger is it fast 8-)

CPU Usage: 0%
Memory usage: 12MB :mrgreen:

(I'll post a howto if anybody wants it)

====================================
Ok here's how I installed Avira Antivir on my openSUSE 11.2 system.

Requirements:

  • GCC Compiler
  • Kernel Sources
  • Dazukofs kernel module (pref. version 3)

If these aren't installed by default on your system, go to your package manager to install them - they're all fairly standard.

===========================================

Go to Avira and download the AntiVir (UNIX) package.

Copy the archive file antivir-workstation-pers.tar.gz to the /tmp directory


  • jim@linux:~> cd /tmp
    jim@linux:/tmp> tar -tar -xzvf antivir-workstation-pers.tar.gz

This will upack the archive to a folder in /tmp called antivir-workstation-pers-<version> according to what version number you download.

  • jim@linux:/tmp> su
    Password:

Instead of typing out the name of the folder, type the first few letters and then press tab - the full name should then appear

  • linux:/tmp> cd /antivir-workstation-pers-<version>
    linux:/tmp/antivir-workstation-pers-<version> >./install

Press enter to view the terms and then press q to exit.

  • Do you agree to the license terms? [n] y

We use GData on Windows, it uses about 8MB and doesn't really make itself known, unless you are doing lots of file transfers and have real-time protection turned on. That is pretty important, as most of our machines are older, single core, machines with 256MB RAM!

A Howto would be cool Jim :)

I've recently put ClamX on my two Macs. I've left my server for the time being as everything that goes on it goes through one of the Macs first...

Done - although rather quickly.

If anyone needs more help I'll get to it when I get the chance. However I must say that the manuals are superb.
