Virus protection for Linux

Trend Micro has launched an integrated virus solution specifically tailored to protect Linux-based file servers from malicious code.

ServerProtect is already in use in Windows and Novell server environments but Trend Micro Australia managing director Chris Poulos said repeated requests for a Linux-based solution in the past eighteen months led to the platform expansion.

Product features include remote management via a Web browser, real-time scanning, manual or automated component updates and notification of virus outbreaks via e-mail or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) notifications.
