f-secure 4.64 command line client on redhat 4
hello all. I'm very new to the whole f-secure world...after getting the email stating our virus definitions were out of date by 8 days, I looked into manually updating our database.
This is where things get a little fuzzy, as I haven't found much documentation for this version/situation. I'm logging in via SSH, so any gui type option is a no go.
I'm downloaded the latest .zip file / fsdbupdate9.run ...
I'm assuming I can just run the .run file, but I get permission denied. Is this as easy as chmod +x and re-run it? Is this not the proper way to manually update the command line client?
Is there a place I can refer to, that will assist in the command line world for f-secure 4.64?

Hello Scott,
to me it looks you run an very old version which is not even supported anymore please see here.
I would recommend you to update to latest version of command line scanner. If your company has a valid license you should have the key for it.
You can download it from here there is an option for command line only installation just read the release notes.

Hi,
Indeed the product here F-Secure Anti-Virus for Linux 4.64 is no longer supported. The product replacing this is Linux Security and this is available at http://www.f-secure.com/en/web/business_global/support/downloads/-/carousel/view/83
Note, Linux Security can be installed with only manual scanning capabilities to mimic the functionality of the current product 4.64. For this purpose, use the installer with the following parameter:
./f-secure-linux-security-<version>.<build> --command-line-only
If you're interested in the product, kindly contact your local F-Secure partner.

Thanks for the response...updating may be in store going forward, however, a couple questions remain:
fsav --version shows the database as being updated, however, I am still getting emails stating they are out of date by X days.....what sends this email? Is there a way to reset this, or stop the email for now? We have a cron job set up that is doing all updates, so about this email?

IIRC, the product itself did not include similar functionality or even a script for this particular purpose. Maybe you're using the product with a 3rd party solution which implements the functionality?
Check /etc/crontab and root crontab (crontab -u root -e) and unless these provide a solution, try searching files containing the sub strings "fsav" + "--version". Hopefully this can identify the emailer script....
