title: 'Install Virus Scanning Software'

description: |-
Install virus scanning software, which uses signatures to search for the
presence of viruses on the filesystem.
Ensure virus definition files are no older than 7 days, or their last release.

Configure the virus scanning software to perform scans dynamically on all
accessed files. If this is not possible, configure the
system to scan all altered files on the system on a daily
basis. If the system processes inbound SMTP mail, configure the virus scanner
Virus scanning software can be used to protect a system from penetration from
computer viruses and to limit their spread through intermediate systems.

The virus scanning software should be configured to perform scans dynamically
on accessed files. If this capability is not available, the system must be
configured to scan, at a minimum, all altered files on the system on a daily
basis.

If the system processes inbound SMTP mail, the virus scanner must be configured
to scan all received mail.

Inspect the system for a cron job or system service which executes
a virus scanning tool regularly.
<br />

To verify the McAfee VSEL system service is operational,
run the following command:
<pre>$ sudo /sbin/service nails status</pre>
<br />
To check on the age of uvscan virus definition files, run the following command:
<pre>$ sudo cd /opt/NAI/LinuxShield/engine/dat
$ sudo ls -la avvscan.dat avvnames.dat avvclean.dat</pre>
Verify an anti-virus solution is installed on the system. The anti-virus solution may be
bundled with an approved host-based security solution.

In DoD environments, supplemental intrusion detection and antivirus tools,
such as the McAfee Host-based Security System, are available to integrate with
existing infrastructure. Per DISA guidance, when these supplemental tools interfere
with proper functioning of SELinux, SELinux takes precedence. Should further
