Antivir Notes

Configure antivir to update itself at least once per day. It's your responsibility to make sure your virus definitions are up-to-date.
IF you have several machines on your LAN, all running antivir, then configure only one to update itself. Set up the others with a script like this one to fetch the latest updates from that machine.
If you use avguard for "real time" virus scanning, then you MUST configure antivir so that /tmp and the directory in conf-spool are not scanned by avguard. You should also disable realtime scanning in qmail's queue; it will only slow down email transfer, and doesn't work anyway. For a default install, put the following in /etc/avguard.conf:
```
ExcludePath /var/qmail/avscan/root/scanq
ExcludePath /var/qmail/queue
ExcludePath /tmp
```
If you don't disable avguard scanning of those folders, then qscanq will NOT WORK. Avguard will block access to any infected files, and antivir will silently skip over them, reporting that no infected files were found.
