| McAfee LinuxShield virus software now available |
May 24, 2004
Network Associates is now shipping McAfee LinuxShield, an anti-virus package for Linux servers. Based on the company's McAfee virus-scanning engine, LinuxShield scans for viruses, worms, and other malicious code threatening Linux systems. It features automatic signature updates, identifies viruses within archived files, and has a heuristic scanner that can pinpoint suspect worms and viruses before an updated signature is actually available.
Although Linux has been the target of fewer viruses than Windows systems worldwide, Network Associates notes that the solution is necessary in heterogeneous environments, where the software can detect, destroy, and defend against Windows viruses that can pass through Linux servers before reaching systems running Microsoft operating systems.
LinuxShield supports servers running Red Hat and SuSE Linux.
