kavscanner works fine detecting the eicar test file "kavscanner
/tmp/eicar.com"
I think the problem lies between the MailScanner default kasperskywrapper
and kaspersky.prf
I am no expert on the kavscanner for linux but two lines in the
kaspersky.prf seem to cause a problem:
#InfectedAction=1
InfectedAction=
With this object being blank I get an error "Profile contain wrong value for
property InfectedAction" when I run kasperskywrapper by hand
#Names=*/home;*/tmp;*/var/tmp;/usr/src;/mnt/cdrom
Obviously this tells kavscanner where to scan, and it is commented out so
MailScanner can specifically tell it what to scan. If I run
kasperskywrapper by hand it yields
"Nothing to Scan.
You should select at least one directory to scan."
In the kasperskywrapper:
#ScanOptions="$ScanOptions -Y" # no confirmations (will need once the rest
is right)
Perhaps a confirmation box is tying up the process since this is commented
out?
Anyone have a customized and working kasperskywrapper and kaspersky.prf they
care to share?
