Network Antivirus

[NZ-Stevo]

Hi all. Just new to Ubuntu after migrating from Windows XP

Have a problem i would like to try and resolve. I have a NAS drive, which is a LevelOne unit (run by linux) and i want to have an antivirus application on my ubuntu machine to scan the NAS for viruses as this is accessed from windows machines.

I have trialled all the AV's suggested on the Ubuntu website but nothing does what i am after.

I would also prefer to have a gui based option rather than something run through terminal.

Any suggestions welcomed.

Have a look at OSSEC (http://www.ossec.net/). It has a nice web-based gui so you can monitor all computers on your network.

You couldn't get any AV scanner to scan a locally mounted NAS drive? You should be able to scan any locally-accessible file or directory.

Use ClamAV. It is easy to configure. The reason why Linux programs frequently don't have a configuration GUI is because it is done once only, so there is no point in making a GUI that will almost never be used.
