DrWeb for Ubuntu

    Friend Vadik aka key threw up an idea that he implemented, and I followed him. Maybe someone will like it too. The idea is briefly to throw the drweb32.key key from the free Dr.Web LiveCD product to Dr.Web Anti-virus for Linux.

    To implement this plan you need:
    1) download Dr.Web LiveCD (~ 64mb) at www.freedrweb.com/livecd.
    You need to pick drweb32.key from it, you can basically write to a disk and boot from it, copy the key to a USB flash drive, but lazy go around.
    We open the minDrWebLiveCD-5.0.0.iso image in Ubunt using the Archive Manager and go to the / boot / module / directory and pull out white.mo

    2) in terminal we mount white.mo
    #mount -o loop -t squashfs white.mo /tmp/
    and go along the / tmp / opt / drweb path and pull out drweb32. key, unmount
    #umount /tmp/

    We look, but do not edit the key

    2010! What the doctor ordered!

    3) Download the version for my OS at download.drweb.com/linux , I took the version for Ubuntu 8.04. We store all the downloaded files in one folder and if you have a 32-bit distribution, you can take turns poking at the deb files with the mouse, like a gibbon with a stick in an anthill. I have a 64bit system, so I called the terminal and in it,
    #dpkg -i --force-architecture *.deb
    swearing at the architecture mismatch, the packages were delivered.

    4) Copy the previously received key drweb32.key to the / opt / drweb directory and call xdrweb, you can make a shortcut on it to start from the desktop.

    5) In the Dr.Web scanner, you can and should go to the Support tab and click Update, after evaluating the Last update time and Total virus signatures.

    6) After checking the quality work of Dr.Web, we go to the estore.drweb.com store and buy a personal key, thereby supporting the domestic manufacturer.

    Questions “why?”
    A: Why anti-virus for Linux?
    A: Now you can check USB flash drives or directories shared in P2P for Windows viruses using DrWeb for Linux. It is not good when an advanced Linuxoid stores Windows viruses in itself not for tests.

    A: Why Dr.Web?
    A: I agree! Better Klamav, and even better "one head is good, and two is even better."
