The HTTP Anti Virus Proxy is a software that acts as a proxy with a ClamAV anti-virus scanner to protect users from malware and viruses present on websites or webpages that they access.
HAVP antivirus proxy has both a parent and transparent proxy mode and can be used either with Squid or as a standalone application. Some of its key features include parent proxy support, transparent proxy support, a user-defined logfile, process change to defined user and group, and a daemon. It also uses the GPL antivirus ClamAV, is written in C++, and is available under the GPL.
The latest release of HAVP includes a fix to address a possible retry loop and hang, as well as the addition of a Via: header which is always sent, and resolves some IIS problems (such as those found on MSNBC).
Overall, HAVP is an essential cybersecurity tool for any Linux-based system, providing seamless and comprehensive virus protection for HTTP traffic.
