I normally use Win32 Clamav for scanning of viruses in servers but now it is no longer being maintained. Where can I find an equivalent? Or is there any step by step instructions on compiling it from source?

We are looking to replace BigVPS after their BigScrewUp this week.
Does anyone have experience with WebProx? It seems they have what we need but we also need some references.
what do you guys use for shell access?
It's been 2 years since last Putty release, so would like to dump it in favor of something else.
I'm noticing that apache's mod layout is dead upstream and has been for a while. I'm looking for somthing to use to put ads and a legal disclaimer on free hosted blogs (lifetype).
View 0 Replies View RelatedI was a reseller with WebstrikeSolutions for almost a decade and now, sadly, they are gone. Swallowed up by EasyCGI...don't know if they are any good or not but the few opinions I did manage to find haven't been very favorable at all. Plus, somewhere in the transition my credit card info got out into the world and the very next day after being billed by EasyCGI, fraudulant charges showed up on my credit card which I had to cancel! Not sure if it's a coincidence or not but the timing seems odd...so if you believe in signs, I'm thinking that that just might be one saying it's time to move on...
So, I am now looking for a replacement host. Unfortunately, trying to find out anything about the various companies by searching Google results in nothing more than a tangled mess of "review" sites that are nothing more than paid advertising for whichever hosts pays the most to be number one!
I am looking for a Windows host in the neighborhood of <$10 a month. I have been considering ReliableSite.net, m6.net, godaddy.com (except I use them to register my domain names so that might be a bad idea) and **************.com (why is a-c-cuwebhosting.com blocked out?). Any opinions about any of the above would be greatly appreciated. Of course, if anybody (other than a company owner or marketing guy/gal) has any experience with somebody else I would love to hear from you.
Now, as for requirements, my bandwidth needs are relatively low and storage doesn't need to be enormous but once my standard sites are up and running I would like the ability to offer customers individual website packages utilizing oscommerce (possibly) as their storefronts to allow them to sell their own products. Basically online stores that they don't have to code or setup themselves. That's the long term goal. Right now I just want to get my sites back online so that I can maintain and update them without incident.
As many of you may have also experienced, Easy CGI went from being one of the best hosts (I had them for 7 years and they were great), to one of the worst. They migrated to new servers and literally destroyed our site, lost data, did a search and replace of our code (yes, this actually happened), and brought our sites down completely. After about 100 hours of on-line support, chat, phone calls, emails, etc. we have to move on.
The things that were great (prior to the debacle) about EasyCGI was the Windows hosting, fast performance (FTP access was great), and the controls that were available.
I'm finding it difficult to match what we used to have. I've tried GoDaddy's VPS packages and that was a complete bust due to FTP performance (would have literally taken us months to just upload our web site ... about 10 GB total).
I tried Network Solutions, but they are only Linux and although they told us they support ASP Upload, ASP Email, and a number of other controls, now tell us that those are not supported.
I've also tried APLUS.NET and 1AND1. Same peformance issues.
anyone have any recommendations for hosting that would meet these needs?
Windows (Virtual or Shared)
30 GB + disk space
Unlimited Email
Form Mailers (CDONTS or ASP Mail)
ASP / ASP.NET / AJAX
DSN with Microsoft Access databases
Ability to work with SQL Server (not MySQL) databases
ASP Upload (or similar) that can be coded in ASP to upload files
FAST PERFORMANCE
Unlimited FTP accounts (we create a folder and FTP account for each of our customers)
Unlimited (or very high) transfers monthly (~ 1000 GB/MO +)
I have been fiddling with an .htaccess file trying to get it to show a default "Image Not Available" image in place of a 404 error. I have found code in other forums that has worked for others, but does nothing for me:
Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI}!-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.*).(gif|jpg|jpeg|png)$
RewriteRule ^(.*) noimage.gif
and this one which several people said worked for them
Code:
RewriteCond %{ENV:ERROR404} .(jpg|gif|png)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ noimage.gif [L]
Anyone had experience with this? The webserver is Apache on CentOS 5.
(This is the first review I've ever written for practically anything so please bear with me. I feel the need to share my experience to try to help others after all the great advice and info I've received around here.)
If you've done everything you think you can do to improve the responsiveness of your websites like add a mysql cache, PHP opcode cache and various other tweaks, I discovered there is still one more easy thing you can do for a big improvement: replace Apache with LiteSpeed. It's way too easy not to try it and you can leave Apache completely intact to go back to at a moment's notice if you so desire.
I call LiteSpeed a "drop-in" replacement because it uses all my httpd.conf and .htaccess settings without modification. This was critical for me as my sites have some very complex rewrite rules. Other solutions like LightHttpd require extensive work to make changes if you use fancy mod-rewrite rules. LiteSpeed does not need any fiddling. LiteSpeed just adds it's own clean little web interface so you can tweak if you want to, but I didn't really have to change anything. Last but not least, LiteSpeed gets along with Cpanel and DirectAdmin without any conflicts. LiteSpeed's so compatible I can literally do this on my server and the visitors don't even notice the difference (except speed of course!)
service httpd stop
service lsws start
(and visa versa)
I discovered LiteSpeed after reading that the main WordPress.com site had switched to it and had great success (they have a quarter million registered bloggers and of course many millions more daily readers).
The main reason I tried LiteSpeed is because it's roughly twice as efficient in memory use and performance than Apache 1.3 & 2. It runs PHP up to 50% faster than Apache and static files get served several times faster (faster than thttpd & lighthttpd). So this means you can either double the number of active connections you currently max out at now, or make a regular website respond nearly twice as fast, or under heavy loads still respond within a reasonable amount of time when Apache would be completely unresponsive.
The last situation was exactly what I was hoping for and LiteSpeed helped me keep my sanity on a bad VPS node.
Basically a couple months into owning my first VPS (after many years of shared-hosting experience) I started to realise many of the industry promises about VPS are an outright lie. You are far from isolated from your neighbours. Any disk load created by bad neighbours, mysql abuse or otherwise, will directly affect you and you are powerless to stop it. It's the most poorly regulated resource on any VPS node and it can be made worse by slack, ignorant or inexperienced hosts who do things like move accounts during busy periods onto and off a node at the root level which ties up the entire node for an hour or more. Under Apache, I was getting timeouts during peak visitor times and that was very upsetting.
On top of my VPS neighbour troubles, no matter how I fiddled with Apache's settings (with all the helpful guides around here) I could not make it comfortably fit within the guaranteed memory limit of my VPS with Cpanel, which I really wanted to keep as it's much easier for my end-users. Switching to LiteSpeed caused a radical drop in memory use. I've seen nearly 1000 people online within a one minute period on one of my sites and it still fit comfortably within my memory limits and stayed extremely responsive.
I've discovered another plus to LiteSpeed along the way that no-one else seems to mention. It's the only server software that "out of the box" seems to serve web compressed (gzipped) pages properly as chunked output. This means a visitor will start to see the page immediately as soon as the first part is sent vs. on Apache, mod_gzip actually de-chunks all the output, waits for it to finish, then compresses, then sends.
Mod_deflate on Apache 2.0 was supposed to fix this but it usually doesn't work properly and I've never gotten 2.0 to do compressed+chunked output on my sites without alot of fiddling and help from PHP. It also doesn't seem as smooth as LiteSpeed's output which gives you that "silky" watch-the-webpage render effect that's mentally rewarding to visitors.
On the downside, there is one reason you wouldn't use LiteSpeed - if you use highly customised Apache mods. LiteSpeed cannot support custom mod's and their directives. It does have a lot built in however that Apache does not, so you may way to examine if you can accomplish what you are trying to do another way.
I started with LiteSpeed 3.1 and when I found an incompatibility with an obscure Apache feature (ie. ErrorDocument's as plain text output: ErrorDocument 404 "Not Found" was not supported) they fixed it for me in a day or so after I reported it on their forum. The same for PHP support of "Apache_Response_Headers". Note I am not even a commercial customer! They are now up to 3.2 which has a few other fixes.
The free version of LiteSpeed has a limit of 150 simultaneous connections (plus the linux stack of 200 more which will backlog). I've never seen that limit hit. It's so intelligent about closing connections as needed that it's not an issue for me. Perhaps on a dedicated server with many virtual hosts this will be a problem. Up to version 3.1.1 that was the only limitation, however unfortunately in 3.2 they have decided to also limit virtual hosts to "5", so that's something else you'll have to consider if you want the free version, otherwise the commercial version has a free trial and money back guarantee.
Some people were upset with me that I wouldn't name my VPS host when I was constantly complaining of troubles but that's just my style when I have nothing nice to say still have to do business with them, so don't name names. But when I have something nice to say about a company, I like to speak up. So I heartily recommend LiteSpeed and hope other people give it a try - especially if you are on my VPS node ;-)
ClamAV or AVG ?
which one is better ?
ClamAV or AVG
and how should i scan my folder with ClamAV ?
My hosting provider (which will go unnamed because I doubt they would appreciate me broadcasting the fact that their server-based antivirus software isn't working properly) is experiencing almost daily email delivery failures on multiple shared servers because ClamAV stops working. They say they are running the latest stable versions of exim and ClamAV, but that "there is no guarantee...that the clamav error will not happen again". Right around the time this started happening, there was an article on the ComputerWorld web site (http://www.computerworld.com/action/...icleId=9077638) about a ClamAV patch being released to fix a security vulnerability. I'm wondering whether that patch was buggy, and whether other hosting providers are having problems with ClamAV. (It would probably be a good idea not to mention any providers by name because of the security implications.)

How can I disable clamav on cpanel server and make sure that it's not running
because when clamav is running the outlook is not working so I have to restart clamav every time.
I have it installed on server, but sometimes it's dead, but no warning from system. It will prevent emails working then. So I wonder if there is any way to check clamav? when it's not working, system will release an email to the admin?

A few weeks ago I installed clamav using the cPanel "Manage Plug-Ins". It all seemed fine but my server load kept going ridiculously high. I couldn't work out what was wrong until I managed to get a ps aux when it was very high and found that clamd was using ridiculous amounts of memory/cpu. It's not such a big deal having it on my server, so I decide to uninstall it. After uninstalling it, MySQL started to randomly turn off regularly (around every 30 minutes). I tried forcing a cPanel update, updating the MySQL files, reinstalling MySQL, etc. but nothing has seemed to fix it. So as a last resort, I've reinstalled Clamav and now my MySQL is fine but my server load keeps going ridiculously high again; causing problems still.
Has anyone/cPanel ever experienced this problem? I need to find a solution as almost every account on my server uses MySQL as a basis for their website, so I can't have it going down even for less than a minute.
I've got ClamAV installed on my cPanel (Dedicated) server with a single site and would am having trouble setting up ClamAV to scan emails.
I installed it via WHM and have set it up in WHM to scan all items.
Ie: WHM -> Plugins -> Configure ClamAV Scanner -> Scan ALL items
After doing a few manual scans however (using 'clamscan -ri') I'm finding infections in the account mail folder.
1. Is there a good guide to setting up ClamAV on a cPanel serve do do automatic mail scanning? I was under the impression that ClamAV scans emails also however after doing some reading people seem to recommend MailScanner.
2. My logwatch is giving me the following error.
The ClamAV update process (freshclam daemon) was not running! If you no longer wish to run freshclam, deleting the freshclam.log file will suppress this error message.
The freshclam daemon wasn't running so I've started it (freshclam --daemon). I've also checked the freshclam.conf file and the logrile is set as follows:
UpdateLogFile /var/log/freshclam.log
I am looking into implementing an antivirus/spam relay server using Postfix + MailScanner + SpamAssassin. Does anyone here have experience with this kind of solution?

I installed clamavconnector from Plugins sections at WHM, but after installing, i dont see any option about Clamd or Clamav in WHM, where should I go to use this tool?

Ok so clamavconnector has been running for like 3hrs and this is a brand new server i just got yesterday so theres hardly any files but clamavconnector is using 99% of 1 of my CPUs which i think is a bit mad. You think its frozen or somthing and should i kill it or keep it running?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am recently trying to install the ClamAV program onto my servers. Everything goes well and it is able to get installed but I am encountering some problems.
1) The program keeps recurring the scanning process on my /home directory and will not stop looping.... I waited for around 12 hours but it still keeps looping....
2) I have started the clamd and tested it out by loading a virus onto my server... Nothing happens... the file still is able to be uploaded and excuted....
Is there anyway for ClamAV to auto scan everything that gets uploaded or transmitted into the server? And also mail me its daily scan logs that is issue to be stored in a specific directory.
I tried to install clamav, but i'm out of luck. It won't install at all. it gives the folloing error:
Transaction Check Error:
file /etc/freshclam.conf from install of clamav-0.95.1-4.el5.rf.i386 conflicts with file from package clamav-toaster-0.95.1-1.3.27.i386 ....
I would like to know if its possible and if someone is using a remote clamav server to check the messages against viruses.
We are running around 15 servers and all of them have the clamd installed, and we waste time upgrading the software, database and also monitoring many services that are exactly the same one.
Our idea is to setup a central server that those 15 servers will send the message for checking first.
We are running cPanel and Exim on those 15 servers.
We have implemented remote spamassassin checking this week and its working like a charm.
I have some problems on my web server. Firstly i must say that, i noticed some of trojans and viruses effect my server. Ý saw that when loading my web pages, i saw a foreign link in the status bar while pages loading. When i search this pages, i saw that some codes that insert a hidden iframe with connected some other sites. This is iframe injection problem.
And after search i saw that this codes are infect most of index.php, index.html, index.htm and footer.php, footer.htm and footer.html pages on my server.
After this i clean all the infected files and activate the php safe mode that is OFF before. And i disable some system functions from php.ini
But more important than this, i realize that my ClamAv antivirus out of date. But when i want to update ClamAv with yum update clamav, i faced some errors about yum. And i take a help from my hosting firm to solve this problem.
And after this, i update my ClamAv 0.88 to ClamAv 0.92. And after this installation i scan my system with clamscan and remove 1250-1300 trojan and viruses from users mail directories
After this clean operation, i scaned the system again and no other trjans or viruses found.
But, after the ClamAv update to ClamAv 092 version there is a big problem again.
When a mail user sent a mail to anyone, everyhing is shown normal on mail program (Outlook, Thunderbird...) as sent, but mail is not delivered to recipient. And at the same time a clamav... directory is created in the /tmp directory. And this directories fill the user's mailbox quota. When i clean this directory from /tmp directory the quota turn to normal size. This problem occurs most of the mail users traffic. But this problem is begun after the ClamAv update process
But this problem is not shown all mail accounts.
This clamav.. directory that is created in /tmp directory have 4 files: main.db, mainmdb, main.ndb and copying files.
And the message that is returned from user that mail quota's exceeded is shown below.
And some times message is not return.

Shortly, after updating of ClamAv on my server, all the mails in server mail traffic has a clamav... directory in /tmp directory and this directories have main.db, main.mdb,main.ndb and copying files.
What is the wrong, or what must i do to solve this?
if i remove Clamav from system, everything turn to normal in the mail traffic.
Also i install chkrootkit and scaned the system. There is no bad result shown. All results said “not infected”
As a result i can not find how i can run the ClamAv on my system. Is it solve reinstall old version again.Or do you advice to install a new program? Ýf yes, which one?
My Os is CentOS 4.6, Mail Server Postfix Mail Server 2.2.10, Spam filter SpamAssassin Mail Filter 3.1.9
I would like to know how resource intensive is ClamAV Scanner. Should I allow it or not to my VPS clients/resellers?
Can I set it to use it as root? How?
