==============
Installation
==============
If you have any key files, you can put them in the same
directory as the AntiVir for UNIX install files and they
will be copied into /usr/lib/AntiVir automatically. Make
sure that the permissions of the key files are correct.
Login as root, change to the directory containing the
AntiVir for UNIX install files and run the install script.
./install
The script will do the following
- copy files to /usr/lib/AntiVir
- copy configuration files to /etc
- create links in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin (if desired)
- create links in rc.d directory (if desired)
- run a configuration script (if desired)
AvGuard:
In order to install AvGuard, you first need to compile
a Dazuko module. Information on how to do this can be
found in the src/HOWTO-Dazuko file.
===========
Upgrading
===========
If you are upgrading from a previous installation,
simply run the install script (as if you were
installing for the first time).
./install
The install script will identify a previous
installation and automatically update necessary
components.
==============================
Running/Configuring Software
==============================
The automatic internet updater is started and stopped by
running the avupdater script with the start and stop
arguments. Using the status argument will show the
current status of the automatic internet updater.
/usr/lib/AntiVir/avupdater start
/usr/lib/AntiVir/avupdater stop
/usr/lib/AntiVir/avupdater status
You can configure the automatic internet updater at any
time using the provided script:
/usr/lib/AntiVir/configantivir
NOTE: You do not need to install the automatic internet
updater in order to make internet updates. It is
also possible to make internet updates using the
--update argument with the command line scanner.
This gives users the freedom to use scripts and/or
cron jobs for updates.
AvGuard is started and stopped by running the avguard script
with the start and stop arguments. Using the status
argument will show the current status of AvGuard.
/usr/lib/AntiVir/avguard start
/usr/lib/AntiVir/avguard stop
/usr/lib/AntiVir/avguard status
**********************************************************
* NOTE: You need to configure AvGuard to fit your needs. *
* The default settings are more than likely not *
* what you want. During installation you will have *
* an opportunity to configure AvGuard. You can *
* also manually run the configuration script *
* anytime with the command: *
* /usr/lib/AntiVir/configavguard *

Manual Configuration
======================
Although there are two scripts available for
configuration of AntiVir for UNIX, users may choose
to manually set options.
configuration scripts:
/usr/lib/AntiVir/configantivir
/usr/lib/AntiVir/configavguard
If you prefer to manually configure AntiVir for UNIX
instead of using the provided configuration scripts, it
is very simple. Two configuration files are read by the
AntiVir programs on startup. Empty lines and lines
starting with # are ignored.
- /etc/antivir.conf
This file contains all the general flags and options
that affect all AntiVir software. You should edit this
file to suit your needs. Important directives to
change would be:
EmailTo - specifies where email notifications are sent
(your server must be configured as a mail
server if you want to use external email
addresses)
LogTo - specifies a specific file for log data
There are also additional directives for proxy
support. If your machine is behind an HTTP proxy,
you will need to set these options in order to
perform internet updates.
- /etc/avguard.conf
This file contains all the flags and options specific
to AvGuard. You should edit this file to suit your
needs. Important directives to change would be:
AccessMask - specifies what events cause a scan
IncludePath - specifies a path for AvGuard to watch
(all sub-dirs are also watched)
ExcludePath - specifies a path under the included paths
that AvGuard should ignore (all sub-dirs
are also ignored)
If you change any of the configuration files, the AntiVir programs
must be restarted. This can be done by restarting the AntiVir for
UNIX software.
/usr/lib/AntiVir/avupdater restart
/usr/lib/AntiVir/avguard restart
