How to setup Stand-Alone Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.7 Workstation on Linux RedHat

Introduction:

Kaspersky Anti-Virus is now one of the popular anti-virus softwares. The strong point are that it can detect and clean most of virus, light weight – it consumes less system resource comparing with other anti-virus softwares and Kaspersky’s signature is updated regularly (about every 2 hours).

Today, I have to setup Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux Workstation on a RedHat Enterprise 4. But in my environment, I can’t update signature from the Internet directly because it’s a separated network. So I have to manually update the signature myself. And I’ll install only few servers so there’s no need to install administration console for centralize management Kaspersky’s product. Therefore, I’ll not install Kaspersky Network Agent.

This article, I’ll show how to install Kaspersky Anti-Virus 5.7 on Linux RedHat Enterprise 4 by starting from install Webmin first. Then, I’ll install Kaspersky Workstation 5.7 and update the signature manually. Finally, I’ll add cronjobs to perform a scanning every week.

Note: Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix which will be used for configure Kaspersky Workstation.
