Hello,

Does anyone know of a Linux anti-virus solution that will work with iptables
/ netfilter? Something that will allow packets to be scanned for viruses as
they come off the wire, and then "handed off" to iptables / netfilter, or
something that allows iptables / netfilter to scan for viruses based on
current virus definitions? Or is this type of thing even possible? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill Bertram
