Multiple Anti-Virus Engine Scanning

Hi, I've seen screenshots of this particular program that I can't remember the name of :(.

It uses multiple virus scanning engines to check a file / folder and gives the results. It also auto updates the virus and spyware definitions. Anyone came across this or something similar?

Thanks in advance friend,

Tim

I was wondering if anyone could intergrate one / both webpages into a scanning application?

Hiya Tim_Wright
I can't help you with your request because I don't use an anti-virus product but I am curious to know why you feel that you need one. Unless you are running a Samba or mail server, there is really no need for an anti-virus program on your Linux machine. See this link for more info.

Yep, I've been running Linux for more than 6 years and have never run an AV program. Of course, I'm pretty careful regarding what I do with my computers, but I've never felt the need for one.

Hi guys, I seen a screenshot of an application on a forum. It basically confirmed that the file was virus free by displaying the results of a file scan using multiple virus engines. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

BTW, Im using Windows at the moment because my PC monitor hates Linux :(

Thanks in advance,

Tim
