LISTSERV's anti-virus scanning feature requires paid-up maintenance and an unexpired maintenance LAK for the version of LISTSERV you are running.  With paid-up maintenance the following becomes available:


  • LISTSERV running on Windows Server 2016/2019/2022


    • L-Soft currently certifies Windows Defender Anti-Virus for use with LISTSERV 16.0-2017a and later, however, LISTSERV 17.0 is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.


    • L-Soft no longer supports F-Secure Server Security and no longer provides license keys for that product.



  • LISTSERV running on Linux: 


    • L-Soft no longer supports F-Secure Linux Security and no longer provides license keys for that product.  See next bullet point.



  • LISTSERV running on platforms other than Windows Server: The LISTSERV Anti-Virus Station (AVS) for Windows platforms is available for integrated anti-virus scanning.  A separate license must be purchased for AVS, which must be installed on a Windows machine somewhere in your network (the machine may be virtualized).
