  • 1.  SAV for Linux - Exclusion Best Practice

    Posted Jul 01, 2013 07:26 PM

    Hello,

    I am using SAV for Linux on RedHat 5.8 64-bit. What are the best practice virus exclusions for RedHat and Linux in general?

    Cheers,

    Cameron

    Wasn't able to find much in the KB about this. You may need to check the RH documentation.

    For reference:

    Looks like /sys and /proc have to be excluded. Thanks Mick :)
