Title: Paid version of antivirus with ICAP?
Post by: stifferd on October 07, 2021, 01:44:49 am

Hi all,

Have any of you been successful using a paid version of antivirus software with ICAP?

I’d like something a little more robust than ClamAV if possible.

I heard Kaspersky does this well

Thank you!  Unfortunately the Linux version is only available with business edition which starts at $500 USD.  So I am now looking at ESET Security Gateway but not sure if it’ll work.  It only lists FreeBSD 9 support.  I’m also having a hard time purchasing the ESET product in Canada. 

Any other vendors out there that do ICAP and work with proxy?

You can install it on a separate Linux based machine as well.

Yeah I am now leaning toward that - I don’t mind having a separate proxy machine.  Problem is finding an inexpensive solution.  Many Linux based anti virus is only available for business, so the cost is high.

I will see if my purchase for a single license for ESET security Gateway is approved.  I keep getting denied because I am in Canada for some reason, and I’ve yet to find a Canadian reseller that has it.

If I were to move to a totally separate box which would give me more freedom, are there any products that anyone would suggest?  I’d like to spend max a couple hundred bucks.  I’m just not seeing anything in that price range that’ll do ICAP….
