AVG Antivirus scanner problem

[Rick Cooper]

It would keep MailScanner from recognizing it at all. MS looks for specific
expressions from each scanner and in the case of AVG it appears it only
looks for virus found (now) and the latest avgscan outputs virus identified,
so MailScanner ignores the line. I assume Julian is looking at what I sent
last night and if he agrees with the additonal changes I listed you should
get another patch. Either way it should be fixed soon. You could try appling
the patch he sent last night, IIRC the other stuff only affected the logging
and not the parsing.

This would keep it from removing the virus from a message or just reporting
it? I have sent the buggabear virus and also .scr file virus through and it
passed them on to the next hop intact.

I do, there was a patch applied to the parser sometime in the past and it no
longer recognizes "identified" only "found". I plan to release a patch to
the avg scanner soon

Subject: AVG Antivirus scanner problem

Is anyone using avgscan with MailScanner? I have FreeBSD, sendmail,
MailScanner and I just downloaded a trial of AVG for Servers for FreeBSD.

 

It does not appear to detect any viruses though.

 

I ran Eicar and actual virus E-mails through it and all pass without any
hesitation. I tried running the avgscan on the queue directory and it
doesn't find anything wrong like that either.

 

Does anyone have any idea why it isn't working? I installed F-Protect on
another server like this, and it seems to work as expected, but seems a bit
pricey in comparison.

 

Thanks,

Chuck
