RE: [squid-users] squid and anti-virus

Hi Jacques,

There is a way to use the trend micro product in front of the squid. Its not elegant, but it does solve one or two problems.
things to note:
1) if you chain the devices, you will break your ability to use delay pools ( nice for QOS, ask Raymond C ;)
2) the trend product runs on linux and we've had it here for a while, but the interface is not very intuitive when it comes to seeing which scanner
engine/pattern you have

99.992% of the time it does work well w.r.t removing the virus payload.

John

PS: now might be a good time to beg for CVP / ICAP in squid ;)

greetings all,

has anybody successfully intergrated content scanning (anti virus) and squid? i'm getting uphill from our AV guys about no content scanning at our
proxy before data arrives at the desktops. i know of MS products floating about that do this, but i'd hate to deploy an MS product within my pure
Linux environment.

any takers?
