+Samba users have been using the RPMS from SerNet without a problem.
+OpenSUSE Linux users have also used the vscan scanner for quite some time
+with excellent results. It does impact overall write performance though.

+Obviously, a running clam daemon is necessary for this to work. This is a working example for me using ClamAV.
+The ClamAV documentation should provide additional configuration examples. On your system these may be located
+under the <filename>/usr/share/doc/</filename> directory. Some examples may also target other virus scanners,
+any of which can be used.
