Description
fsav is a program that scans files for viruses and other malicious code. fsav scans
specified targets (files or directories) and reports any maliciouscode it detects.
Optionally, fsav disinfects, renames or deletes infected files.
The types of viruses F-Secure Security Platform detects anddisinfects include but
are not limited to: Linux viruses, macro viruses infecting Microsoft Office files, Win-
dows viruses and DOS file viruses. F-Secure Security Platform can also detect spy-
ware, adware and other riskware (in selected products). fsav can scan files inside
ZIP, ARJ, LHA, RAR, GZIP, TAR, CAB and BZ2 archives and MIME messages. F-
Secure Security Platform utilizes multiple scanners to scan files: F-Secure Corpora-
tions Hydra scan engine and Kaspersky Lab AVP scan engine.
fsav requires the fsavd scanner deamon to scan files. fsav uses UNIX domain
sockets to communicate with the daemon. If fsavd is not running, fsav launches
fsavd before the scan.
