[BBLISA] Commercial anitvirus scanner for Linux?

[stephen wadlow]

Hi Paul,

F-Secure has a product - http://www.f-secure.com/enterprises/products/fsavssl.html
I won't say that it's a good product, or that it will offer adequate  
protection, but it might fill your certification requirements.
F-Secure is at least a big-enough company/name that it might hold some  
weight.

I also found F-Prot:  F-Prot:  http://www.f-prot.com/products/corporate_users/unix/linux/workstations.html
for which the same disclaimers apply.  In fact, I have never used  
either of these products.

I didn't know that F-Secure had stopped selling ssh.    Now what'll  
happen when someone needs commercial ssh support!?   ;)
