Red Hat

perderabo I agree with u. its quite dangerous even using adobe reader. It seems the version which is 10.0 or less than 10 it has a security issues with it.

The only thing dangerous are the Windows vulnerabilities. As long as you do not have to serve Windows clients you can forget about virus scanners.

If you have indeed to cope with Windows clients, use ClamAV - it will run on a Linux platform and scan for Windows viruses. Most commonly it is used on mail gateways, FTP servers and similar passageways from intra- to inernet.

I hope this helps.

I use uvscan for my Solaris, RHEL and Susie servers. I think it is also called the McAfee Command line scanner. Our windows servers use HBSS/ePolicy which has a AV that works on Linux as well. The process on a Linux machine is called nail.

UNIX/Linux servers still need a AV, because i it was said above your server can be a host for windows viruses. Also UNIX/Linux/BSD systems can be attacked with cross site scripting attacks.

I hope this helps.

An AV won't be much help against a scripting attack.

It will if the attack places viruses on the system.
