Hi,
I want to do some antivirus scan for my windows partitions in LiveCD,
so, i want to ask some questions about these tools.
1. As i know, clamscan and f-prot can do this work for me. but they
seems don't support NTFS.
it's the kernel that doesn't support ntfs (all the way, read is
supported, write is somehow supported but pretty useless I think).
2. My friend told me f-prot is too old to use. And in systemRescueCD
and Helix, these two kinds of liveCD all use clamscan. Does it mean
clamscan is better than f-prot?
I personally favor f-prot over clamscan. F-prot is updated very
regulary, so it isn't to old (you might wanna ask him what he means by
that :S). The thing is, that clamscan is free software and open source.
So it's a much more logic choice to put clamscan in a free livecd than
to put (payware) f-prot in it.
I really havent got an idea which is the better though. I know the
definition files of f-prot are very up2date and it works really well in
Windows. I expect to work really well in linux to. I don't have any
experience with clamscan.
3. As you know, Windows have so many virus, so, can anybody tell me any
kinds of tools in linux scanning virus for windows?
well, clamscan and f-prot both do. I'm not aware of any other software
packages that do the same, though I'm sure they'll exist.
4. Does clamscan have user interface, or is it just command in terminal?
Thanks very much for any idea!!
command-line scanner
So, I guess it's an command line scanner. Might be some sort of
frontend availble for it in the 3th party software category on their
site.
good luck.
