- FreeBSD Anti-Virus Protection - A Commercial Alternative
- Anti-virus software for FreeBSD is not a common thought to most FreeBSD administrators. However, if you’re like me, most of my networks are Windows 2000/NT on the workstations, and FreeBSD on the servers.

The solution to this i thought would be anti-virus software that runs under FreeBSD as a centralized anti-virus scanner. Such software can be integrated into the FreeBSD server’s Mail Transfer Agent to protect peoples’ email accounts, and by using smbfs or Sharity, you can even do a full scan of the Windows computers on your network from remote. This keeps your Windows clients free from the resource crunch that can be caused by installed anti-virus software. The virus scanning software does not degrade the workstation’s performance, nor can a knowledgeable user disable it.
