Antivirus feature ?

[dxer]

Is some kind of antivirus feature included with standard CPanel installation ?

no

You can install Mailscanner from layer1 and that includes clam av. Works really well for us.

Is there a way to install this from WHM or must do it manualy ?

and what about configuration, any need of that or default installation will do good ?

thanks

You have to install it from ssh as root, but it requires no additional setup beyond running the install script.

The installation from layer1 makes all the necessary modifications for you.

[bman]

i found layer1 and trying the auto installer now

[bman]

it goes to install perl modules and hangs there !
i run
WHM 8.5.4 cPanel 8.5.4-R72
RedHat Enterprise 3 - WHM X v2.1.1

and i think is layer1 file is old or something

The installer works fine on rhe. Just give it some time.

What is layer1 ?

http://layer1.cpanel.net

[bman]

it reaches this step
installing perl modules and stays there for a long time with no change !

edit:
i i think i fixed the problem.
i opened the install file and did the "installing perl modules" my self and removed that line

now how can i be sure every thing is beeing scaned ?

What is "a long time"? Are you exiting out of the install?

[bman]

i think its working
