Generic virus scanner

[Pascal Maes]

Hello,


MailScanner Version 4.85.2-3



We havre written our own generic virus scanner to check the macros included in some Office documents.

We use the "generic-wrapper" but it doesn't work as in SweepViruses.pm we found the line

3671 sub InstalledScanners {
3672 
3673   my(@installed, $scannername, $nameandpath, $name, $path, $command, $result);
3674 
3675   # Get list of all the names of the scanners to look up. There are a few
3676   # rogue ones!
3677   my @scannernames = keys %Scanners;
3678 
3679     print STDERR "\n\n @scannernames \n\n ";
3680   foreach $scannername (@scannernames) {
3681     next unless $scannername;
3682     next if $scannername =~ /generic|none/i;
3684     $nameandpath = MailScanner::Config::ScannerCmds($scannername);
3685     ($name, $path) = split(',', $nameandpath);
3686     $command = "$name $path -IsItInstalled";
3687     print STDERR "$command gave: ";
3688     $result = system($command) >> 8;
3689     print STDERR "\"$result\"\n";
3690     push @installed, $scannername unless $result;
3691   }


So should we choose another name that "generic-wrapper" ?
