8.2.1. The File-Monitoring Technology
The FreeBSD kernel is constructed in such a way that to enable the moni-
toring of files to be opened, saved or executed you must first install and
assemble the kernel anti-virus module. The module is supplied together
with the Monitor program and is called
kavmon
.
The main feature of the module construction is that the module allows you
to launch and shut down the anti-virus monitor without restarting the
FreeBSD operating system.
The Monitor program performs its functions only in combination with
the
kavmon
anti-virus kernel and the Daemon program.
The Figure 9 illustrates the process of anti-virus monitoring within the
FreeBSD filesystem.
