Re: Antivirus on SQUID

[N407ER <n407er () myrealbox com>]

I suspect what he wants is filtering on Squid to protect his users from malicious HTML and other web-based 
vulnerabilities. Unfortunately, I don't know of anything with Squid with these capabilities. Privoxy may suit your 
needs; it's really an anti-banner-ad/privacy-enhancing proxy, but its pretty flexible (and can be run on a proxy server 
for multi-user use--I think it even supports ACLs now. 

Sorry that I can't be of more help, but maybe someone else knows? I would say at the very least you could--at the 
client level or with some very basic filtering on the proxy--just remove scripts, activex, and the like. 

I don't think, unfortunately, that you'll ever be able to define the whole world of web browser vulnerabilities enough 
that you can securely block them without blocking some legit uses as well, so anything is going to be a sacrifice for 
the users. 

Good luck.

Evaluating SSL VPNs' Consider NEOTERIS, chosen as leader by top analysts!
The Gartner Group just put Neoteris in the top of its Magic Quadrant,
while InStat has confirmed Neoteris as the leader in marketshare.
     
Find out why, and see how you can get plug-n-play secure remote access in
about an hour, with no client, server changes, or ongoing maintenance.
