  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS.

Searching For An Antivirus!

dopeboy

Basic Pleskian
Hello,
I'm searching for an antivirus to stop my clients if they upload an virus on my server,
i know on plesk are some antiviruses but i'm searching for an free service,
anyone can help me ?
i have hear about clamav antivirus, but how can i configure it to stop uploads when is an virus ?
thanks,
 
Plesk has own antivirus components for mail server. But if you mean antivirus protection on filesystem level - look at clamav. I heard that many people have successfully installed and configure it on Plesk servers for these purposes.
 
Yeah, I'm using ClamAV for mail and folder scans, reading the feature request at Plesk's uservoice for ClamAV someone mentioned it can be configured to scan ftp uploads

Thats pretty easy:

- replace the plesk standard proftd by the one from atomic, centos 6 is at http://updates.atomicorp.com/channels/atomic/centos/6/x86_64/RPMS/
- add the following to /etc/proftpd.conf (at the top, above the Global section)

<IfModule mod_clamav.c>
ClamAV on
ClamServer localhost
ClamPort 3310
#ClamMaxSize 250 Mb
</IfModule>

done.

maybe you want to create some test to see if plesk overwites the proftp version or proftpd config.

added bonus: the atomic version more up-to-date then the plesk version.

And while you are at it, you might want to expand the clamav rules. There are scripts for auto download, but be carefull not to add rule sets that have a high false positives rate.
