How does Linux antivirus software work?
- Output format for virus scanning
Each detected malicious file will be reported on a separate line. A clean file has a "[OK]" string. Infected files that cannot be scanned due to insufficient permissions or archive corruption will have the "[ERROR]" string. Files excluded from scanning using the - e option have a "[EXCLUDED]" string.
It is necessary to regularly update the Virus Definition Database (VPS) to keep your antivirus protection up-to-date. Avast Business Antivirus for Linux provides a shell script for checking, downloading, and installing the latest VPS. By default, updated scripts will be installed and executed as cron jobs every hour.
If enabled, the scanning service will establish a permanent network connection to the Avast cloud and retrieve them immediately after virus definition updates are published. Streaming updates supplement regular virus database updates, so you are always protected.
Linux antivirus software components include DEB for Debian (Ubuntu) systems and RPM for RedHat/SUSE systems, which are distributed as standard software packages. It also provides a software repository so that all standard system management tools can be used to keep Avast Business programs up-to-date.
