Maldet is generally used to perform virus scanning on servers in Linux systems. AVG Scan is an antivirus program that works with the same logic as maldet but can perform more detailed scans. Your
chances of finding viruses or malicious content that you cannot detect with maldet are higher with AVG Scan.
Installation
wget http://aa-download.avg.com/filedir/inst/avg85lms-r874-a3473.i386.rpm
rpm -i avg85lms-r874-a3473.i386.rpm
avgctl –register 8LESRV-AL7LJ-XW4KK-YW8EA-6FUJP-SYDDC-DT0T
/etc/init.d/avgd start
avgupdateDuring the installation phase, when you run the register command, you may receive an error like the one below.
/usr/bin/avgctl: /opt/avg/avg8/bin/avgctl: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directoryIf you receive such an error, the following steps will suffice.
yum install glibc.i686
then start the avg service
#/etc/init.d/avgd start
AVG Scan Scanning Process
Scanning with this software is quite straightforward. To scan just one account or to scan the entire server, the following commands are sufficient.
avgscan /home/username/public_html
Scanning the entire server
avgscan /home/*/public_html
After the avgscan command, whatever directories you write, the software will begin scanning those directories.
