AVG Support

[Rick Cooper]

I guess I am not sure what you mean about added the revisions to the bottom
of the file? What ever you added is not right at all. There is obviously a
date involved there.. I think you are trying to append the patch file to the
source file, that is not correct, the patch file is an input to the patch
program that changes the source according to the information within the
diff/patch file.

Go back to the message with the tar attached and save the attachment
somewhere, like your home directory, change to that directory and issue the
following command:

tar xvzf MsAvgSupp.tar.gz

now

cp avg-* /opt/MailScanner/lib

Now the important part!

patch /opt/MailScanner/lib/MailScanner/SweepViruses.pm
./SweepVirusesAvg.diff

Now

patch /opt/MailScanner/etc/virus.scanners.conf
./virus.scanners.conf.avg.diff

Then edit MailScanner.conf to include avg (lower case) you your virus
scanner list
