When I have to choose an AV for FreeBSD, should I take one for linux ?
Or are there AV specially designed for FreeBSD ?

Thanks :)

If you are serving mail to windows systems, a good e-mail virus scanner
would be nice. There are several for FreeBSD (most are ported from Linux
ones).

I'm a good UNIX system administrator looking for work. If you happen to need
one, e-mail me.

Almost every big anti-virus company has a FreeBSD version for their
anti-virus tools. McAfee has a very good scanner for FreeBSD, so has
Sophos. The only thing is that they are not open source, so if you have a
problem with closed source software, I guess you have to look further.

I really don't to do away with FreeBSD as my email gateway/filter
machine, since it would be such a pain to remake it as Linux instead.

Anybody got advice as to which one of Norton or Trend command-line
virus scanner for Linux runs best under FreeBSD? My employer (a
flag-waving, retired US military officer) won't let me buy or install
antivirus software from anyone other than the "big three" (McAfee,
Norton or Trend) and yells at me whenever I mention any of the
European antivirus vendors.... he doesn't know Trend is a Tokyo, Japan
headquartered company, thinks they're from California. He'd probably
punch me for suggesting Kaspersky.

        The problem may be with UvScan which may not recognise viruses or with
Amavis which may not extract all parts of email correctly. Unless you
analyse the problem you can't decide what part of your system should be
reconfigured or replaced ...

Trend is not recommended for security reasons. It insists on running as
root.

Look at Vexira.
