Stop anti-virus service

Mariows

Hello everyone,

I need to stop anti-virus service on my XG85 because it consumes too much RAM. While I can't get a bigger firewall, this service needs to be stopped and it's the only workaround at the moment.

The problem is that even when I stop this service via System Services > Services, some hours after the service restarts due to the /scripts/avira_post_update.sh that updates signatures and starts the service again.

I tried to move/rename the file but it is read-only; tried to change permissions via chmod, but didn't work.

Does anyone have some tips on this?

Thanks!

    Mariows,

    the script is launched by the pattern updates which occurs every 2/4 hours (it depends on your pattern update interval). If you disable the anti-virus engine under services from GUI, the service starts again?

    Have you tried from advanced shell:

    service antivirus:stop -ds nosync

    Thanks

    Hi Luk,

    I tried both options, but the service starts again because inside this script (avira_post_update.sh) there are instructions to stop and restart the service:

    XG125_XN02_SFOS 17.0.5 MR-5# more avira_post_update.sh  | grep "antivirus:"
    #       service antivirus:stop -ds nosync
    #            service antivirus:restart -ds nosync
    #               service antivirus:restart -ds nosync
     #               service antivirus:restart -ds nosync
    #        service antivirus:restart -ds nosync
                service -ds nosync antivirus:restart
    #       service antivirus:stop -ds nosync
    #            service antivirus:restart -ds nosync
    #               service antivirus:restart -ds nosync
     #           service antivirus:restart -ds nosync
    #        service antivirus:restart -ds nosync
                service -ds nosync antivirus:restart
    #       service antivirus:restart -ds nosync

     

    I don't know if there is some workaround to avoid this script of being ran or something.

    Uhm...anyway you are using a Firewall and the Anti-Malware service is crucial. You should move to a bigger appliance.
