McAfee Command Line virus scan...

[Coolmar]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone is using this product? We have to due to the number of windows files saved on our unix systems. I am trying to find out how the updates are managed. Is there an auto-update for both dat files and upgrades?

Thanks,
sally

Hi Sally, I hope updates are done automatically from McAfee server and you dont need to worry about them, Please find the Datasheet for more information.

Our Corporate Information Security requires us to run it on all systems (Windows & UNIX). The engine updates come out so infrequently (11/2004 was the last one) that we push these by hand. For the DAT updates, we regularly pull them from Network Associates and put them on a local ftp server. Then all of are systems have a script to pull the dats for our ftp server and unpack them.

Thanks for the info John. So you get your dat files from Network Associates and not McAfee? We have a corporate lisence for McAfee for Windows and I am hoping that the dats for unix would fall under the same lisence.

Network Associates owns McAfee.
There web site is:
www.nai.com.
You can download datfiles and engine updates from:
http://www.mcafee.com/us/downloads/updates/default.asp
or by ftp:
ftp.nai.com/pub/datfiles/english/
For our unix systems, we grab the tar files.
