Getting Started. Protobox is a layer on top of vagrant and a web GUI to setup virtual machines for web development. A single YAML document controls everything that is.

Get the best virus scanner for Linux. Pretty much every Linux user thinks they're immune to viruses, but they're wrong. Just recently, malware was found hidden inside an innocuous- looking Gnome theme from a reputable site.

Users who installed the theme also got several scripts installed as root that were designed to attack internet targets, but it could easily have been much worse. You see, the problem with thinking that Linux is immune is that sooner or later, something like this happens, and you'll have no protection. Yes, 9. 9% of the time you won't need it.

Maybe even 9. 9. 9% of the time. But if a virus checker saves you just once a year, we think that's a good enough reason to install one.(For a second opinion from another reviewer, check our reviews of Bit. Defender and AVG Anti- virus.)Of course, there are other good reasons, not least that you don't want to be blamed in the flame- fest that would result if you accidentally forwarded a virus to your Windows- loving friends. For seconds, even if the virus doesn't affect you, wouldn't you at least like to know that it had somehow made its way on to your precious Linux box?

For the most part, we expect virus checkers to run without us noticing that they're there, to consume no resources and just get on with things. Extra points are awarded to software that comes close to this ideal, while they're deducted for difficult installs, weak documentation and poor performance. Many of the clients on test make use of Dazuko, which is a kernel module designed to give on- access notifications to userland software - so when you open a file, the module passes the details to any service that wants to know. Some of the checkers rely on an old version of Dazuko; we've made a note of these in the review text. How we tested. Although we advocate reading all the documentation and taking care with config files, for this test we've done as little tuning of the software as possible - the defaults should be good enough to keep a computer safe.

We employed the virus test suite, as developed by EICAR (www. There's nothing tricky here; effectively it's just a pseudo- viral text string that should be easy for all the scanners to pick up.

It's provided in several formats, including plain text and Zip files. To complicate things further we included a few large RAW photos, plus the virus test files encoded in a tarball and hidden within an ISO image. AVG Free. Products bearing the AVG name have a reasonable history in antivirus software, stretching back to 1. Linux/Unix systems were only added to the lineup in version 7. Windows version (at 9.

Installing the free client is pretty straightforward, no matter what system you're using, because there are packages freely available in RPM, Deb and tarball formats. Installing the tarball might be a slight pain, but as it's binary, there's no need to worry about compiling this, that and the other. Unlike many of the apps here, there's no GUI for this software. It's designed to be run as a system daemon to scan your files on schedule or on demand. There's an option for on- demand checking with the Dazuko kernel module. Starting the daemon is easy if you have some sysadmin skills, and it can be configured to run at boot.

AVG Free for Linux performs so poorly and comes with such minimal documentation that it's not even worth it, even if it is free. In terms of speed, AVG Free did pretty well, but perhaps at the expense of being thorough. Surprisingly, the software failed to find the zipped versions of the virus test file. Since the test file has been around for years, this is pretty inexcusable - it shouldn't be at all hard to find. The only reasonable explanation is that perhaps the software is misconfigured. As part of our tests, we do the minimum amount of configuration to get the program to run.

In a production environment, you might want to investigate the docs and the various settings, but even if you did, AVG Free's documentation is scantier than a minuscule bikini. Because of the difficulty in making sure the system is configured and working, as well as the poor results in finding viruses, this wouldn't be one we could recommend for desktop use.

Our rating: It performs so poorly and comes with such minimal documentation that it's not worth it, even if it is free. Avira Antivir Professional. Avira Antivir, if you can get past the avoidably ugly name, lives in the shady realms of the command line, though it needs no real knowledge of Bash to install or use.

Download the archive and run the install script within to set everything up. There follows a series of questions about which options are to be installed, whether to use the scan- on- access service (which requires Dazuko) and where you've put your keyfile. The latter was the only hitch on installing. For reasons still unclear, the website provided us with a trial key, but it didn't work.

If you have the same problem, pretend you live in the USA.. Once we had it installed, we noticed the presence of a configuration file and daemons automatically being installed to run the software on startup. Running the test scan was surprising - the software seemed to be instantaneous, and barely took up any memory or CPU cycles at all. It would have been easy to believe that nothing had happened, but the scanner identified all of our infected files and offered to quarantine them. Impressive for its speed and low resource use, Avira doesn't really cut it in the results stakes. The default settings seem good enough and the virus database is kept well up to date, so you needn't fear that you need to be extra vigilant in the configuration.

It works impressively quickly - it's just a shame that the on- access scanning isn't available for modern kernels. Avira does have free versions of its other antivirus software, but all the Linux versions come under the Professional department, so there's no dispensation if you're a non- business user. That said, the licensing structure doesn't make it expensive: .

Bit. Defender. Bit. Defender is a reputable security company, and this antivirus solution sits within a giant cluster of antivirus software for different platforms.

This version is provided free of charge for personal desktop users. You have to register first and get a trial key, which can then be turned into a proper keyfile if you're accepted.

The real keyfile will last for about six months, at which point you can simply sign up and get another one. Running the GUI is a slight surprise. It's built using custom widgets, so although it's essentially leveraging GTK, there is nothing very Gnome, KDE or even Linux- like about it. That said, it's easy to navigate and use. Windows 2003 Sbs R2 Keygen Mac more.

The initial run will download the latest definitions and check the software is up to date before you start scanning. Bit. Defender gained top marks in the scanning test by finding all the suspect files (and correctly identifying them as the same 'threat', for a super- bonus gold star).

Naughty files can be processed in a number of ways, including quarantining them or attempting to remove them, and you'll be reminded and warned about existing threats on your machine if you choose to take no action initially. The settings screen is easy to follow, thanks to the proliferation of tooltips on every button and text- entry point, and they are also pretty concise.

For example, the archive setting is just a simple toggle switch. A helpful tip of the day pops up over Bit.

Defender's gigantic buttons. Thorough check. This might not give the fine- grain control that some people hanker after, but it seems like a sensible compromise - if you want to search through archives, you want to search through them all, not just ones of a specific type.

The software warns that this will increase the resource overhead during scans, but neither the CPU cycles grabbed or the memory allocated seemed to be excessive compared with other software in the test. In fact, it put in the fastest performance of the scanners that found all the suspect files.
