Anti-Virus Recommendation

[Will-NYESDigital]

I have a web server hosted with 1 and 1 running Plesk 10.4 on Linux CentOS 5 (64bit).

I would like to install anti-virus software on this server to protect the underlying OS and all the files hosted on it. 1 and 1 have recommended ClamAV. However, I have noticed that Parallels provide 2 different add-on anti-virus modules which integrate with Plesk - Kaspersky and Parallels Premium Anti-Virus. I have a couple of questions about these that I was wondering if anyone might be able to help with.

1. Do the Kaspersky or Parallels Premium solutions actually protect the underlying OS and files hosted on the linux server? Reading the information about these products, the emphasis seemed to be very much on protecting customers mailboxes (which we don't really have - just hosted websites). I was therefore unsure as to whether these products are just designed to scan and protect mail sent to mailboxes on the server, rather than scan and protect the OS.

2. If the Kaspersky or Parallels Premium solutions do protect the OS, does anyone have any recommendations as to which is the best? If the products don't protect the OS, any recommendations as to an Anti-virus product for Linux?

Many thanks for any replies to these questions

I am using http://www.4psa.com/products-4psacserver.html that is capable of OS scanning

Thanks for your reply eilko. I will investigate your recommendation. The product info. says that it scans the server OS as well so it could be what we are looking for.

You can look for Immunet, Kaspersky or Avast. These are the best anti virus software available in the market.
