Linux is a free operating system, gaining more and more popularity as both a server and workstation system. Because of its cost-efficiency, but also the stability and scalability, Linux is considered one of the best server-platforms available. Norman has developed a new command-line scanner for Linux, compatible with all major distributions.

NVC for Linux

Norman Virus Control (NVC) for Linux is a command-line scanner, making it a flexible and powerful tool for the Linux-administrator.

Integration.

NVC for Linux aims to be Linux Standardization Base compatible, enabling it to run on all major Linux distributions.

Installation

NVC for Linux is available in the three most popular package formats for Linux; RPM, DEB and TGZ.

Scanning

NVC for Linux is based on Norman's well-known and respected virus scanning
technology. Infected files can be cleaned or removed. It also scans more than 30 different types of archive files such as ZIP, CAB, JAR and ARJ files. It is also able to
scan remote NFS volumes. Local users can also scan their homedirectories.

Updating

NVC for Linux uses the same scanner engine and virus definition files as the other Norman Virus Control products.

E-mail scanning

Linux-machines are often used as mail-servers. NVC for Linux is compatible with recent versions of AMaViS, and can therefore be used with all major mail servers.
AMaViS is available from http://www.amavis.org

Why NVC for Linux?

NVC for Linux is a powerful tool for a Linux-administrator, giving him full control deployment of scans within the native Linux management. Unlike several competing products, NVC is kernel-independent, making it available for all major Intel-based distributions.
