Question Plesk Antivirus free for linux VPS

[Netgen]

What is the best free solution to protect my Linux VPS server from virus and email protect?

Hello,
I recommend ClamAV. For a manual to install it look here

If you want to increase your security of the system additional try crowdsec.

 

[Netgen]

Thanks for your answer,

You prefer the ClamAV or both of them to install?

 

[m3lezZ]

Prefers on your needs, mostly if you only need AntiVirus-Protection ClamAV should be enough.
You can also discover Imunify as Plesk-Extension. There is a free version in the extension-catalog in the plesk panel.
But the free version has retrenchments.

I use additional crowdsec but this is for additional security-reasons, it was just a hint you maybe also searched for.

That is only protection that i have:

see on my extensions, maybe ill insert plus the ClamAV for extra protection, also i have backup to google drive for full backups on my sites and emails

I recomment this manual for ClamAV, it's in german, but I guess you will figure it out.

Thank you very much!

Unfortunately stuck on that part : chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/clamsmtp_on_virus.sh
says :
chmod: missing operand after ‘755 /usr/local/bin/clamsmtp_on_virus.sh’
Try 'chmod --help' for more information.


tried to figure out and changed to :
sudo chmod 700 ~/usr/local/bin/clamsmtp_on_virus.sh
and get error:
chmod: cannot access '/home/socialme/usr/local/bin/clamsmtp_on_virus.sh': No such file or directory

But im pretty sure that file created because previous i paste the data as it on tutorial..

Hello,
try this:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/clamsmtp_on_virus.sh

if the error persists please post the output of:

 ls -la /home/socialme/usr/local/bin/ |grep clam

Make sure there is a normal space, and not some weird unicode character, between 755 and /.

For some reason i tried today and the command passed without error, maybe fixed with restart?

Which Linux-OS are you running?

For CentOS/Alma/Cloud

sed -i -e "s/^SafeBrowsing /#SafeBrowsing /" /etc/freshclam.conf

For other Debian based distributions:

sed -i -e "s/^SafeBrowsing /#SafeBrowsing /" /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf

So right now im using that command, rm /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log;/usr/bin/freshclam --quiet
is the right command or must use the : sed -i -e "s/^SafeBrowsing /#SafeBrowsing /" /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf

also how i can monitor the antivirus? i suppose that cant see anything from plesk right?

 

[m3lezZ]

If you want to monitor your antivirus why you shoud delete your log?

To configure your clam right or set advanced settings for one run have a look at the manpage, basicly its man clamscan.
