Command AntiVirus(tm) for Linux(r)
Command Software is proud to introduce Command AntiVirus
(CSAV) for Linux Version 4.75.1. Through our advanced
HoloCheck(tm) scanning technology, CSAV for Linux detects
tens of thousands of viruses and provides state-of-the-art
polymorphic virus detection.
NOTE: After installing Command AntiVirus, we recommend that
you perform a manual scan of your local drives to ensure
that your system is virus-free. This is especially important
if you have not been running anti-virus software prior to
this installation.
For a list of international distributors of Command
AntiVirus, see the distrib.txt file.
Please read the Command AntiVirus for Unix(r) User's Guide.
This guide is installed when you install the documentation
installation package. The Command AntiVirus for Unix User's
Guide provides installation instructions and an overview of
Command AntiVirus for Linux.
The cssunix.pdf file contains the Command AntiVirus for Unix
User's Guide. This file can be read with the Adobe(r) Acrobat(r)
Reader.
You can download Acrobat Reader from Adobe Systems Incorporated
through our web site at:

SPECIAL NOTES
* Before installing Command AntiVirus for Linux Version 4.70.0,
you MUST first uninstall any versions prior to Version 4.61.1.

additional installation package for the documentation. The name
of this documentation package is:
csav-docs-VER-LANGUAGE.noarch.rpm
NOTE: VER - represents the version number, for example
4.70.0
LANGUAGE - represents the language used, for example,
english.
The file name for the English version is:
csav-docs-4.70.0-english.noarch.rpm
This package installs the translated versions of the following:
readme.txt
guide.txt
distrib.txt
legal.txt
email.cfg
cssunix.pdf
The English versions of the first five files are still installed
when you install the Command AntiVirus package called
csav-VER-shared.i386.rpm. Therefore, translation of these
files is optional.
The cssunix.pdf file is NOT installed unless you install the

and QUOTED-PRINTABLE parts will be decoded and then
scanned. Several MUAs (Mail User Agents) save the
content of the e-mail boxes in plain-ASCII files. Such

No disinfection is offered for such files as they are
treated as archives.
