Features

How Does the Linux Antivirus Work?

Output Format of Virus Scan

The Linux antivirus operates with a clear and detailed output format for virus scans. Each detected malicious file is reported on a separate line. Clean files are marked with an "[OK]" string, while infected files that couldn't be scanned due to insufficient permissions or corrupted archives are labeled with an "[ERROR]" string. Files excluded from the scan using the -e option are marked with an "[EXCLUDED]" string.

Virus Definitions Update

To maintain up-to-date antivirus protection, the virus definitions database (VPS) is regularly updated. Avast Business Antivirus for Linux provides a shell script that automatically checks for, downloads, and installs the latest VPS. This script is installed by default and runs hourly as a cron job.

Streaming Updates

When streaming updates are enabled, the scan service establishes a continuous network connection to the Avast cloud, retrieving virus definition updates as soon as they are released. This ensures continuous protection by complementing regular virus database updates.

Distribution Packages

The Linux antivirus software includes DEB packages for Debian (Ubuntu) systems and RPM packages for RedHat/SUSE systems, distributed as standard software packages. Additionally, software repositories are provided, allowing the use of standard system management tools to keep the Avast Business programs consistently updated.
