Description
fsav
is a program that scans files for viruses and other mali-
cious code.
fsav
scans specified targets (files or directories)
and reports any maliciouscode it detects. Optionally,
fsav
disinfects, renames or deletes infected files.
The types of viruses F-Secure Anti-Virus detects anddisin-
fects include but are not limited to: Linux viruses, macro
viruses infecting Microsoft Office files, Windows viruses and
DOS file viruses.
F-Secure Anti-Virus can also detect spy-
ware, adware and other riskware (in selected products).
fsav
can scan files inside ZIP, ARJ, LHA, RAR, GZIP, TAR,
CAB and BZ2 archives and MIME messages. F-Secure
Anti-Virus utilizes three scanners to scan files: F-Secure Cor-
poration Orion and Libra scan engines and Kaspersky Lab
AVP scan engine .
fsav
requires the
fsavd
scanner deamon to scan files. fsav
uses UNIX domain sockets to communicate with the daemon.
If fsavd is not running,
fsav
launches fsavd before the scan.
