Hi, due this high load of MydoomMM i found very dangerous behaviour on QS with aveclient/aveserver from Kaspersky.
1- qs with aveclient has problem to correctly detect output from aveclient, thi only happen when mail contains infected and noninfected files, behaviour of scanning process is this: unpack to temp dir along with original message, scanning every file, so when it scan last file it forget scan result before which include founding of infected file. workaround is (my try) sub_avp> $DD=`/opt/kav/bin/aveclient -p /var/run/aveserver -s $ENV{'TMPDIR'}/orig-$file_id 2>&1`; not $DD=`/opt/kav/bin/aveclient -p /var/run/aveserver -s $ENV{'TMPDIR'}/* 2>&1`; reason is that aveclient can handle whole mail encoding by itself, mostly I hope ;) 2- BUT WORST IS - I have running aveserver from /service, and I found out that if U dont restart this service , it wont using new antiviral db. Kavscanner is working OK, but aveclient/aveserver not until I restarted it. [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# ./kavscanner letter.zip Kaspersky Virus Scanner for linux.
