Graphical User Interface (GUI)
6.1
Overview
The graphical user interface (GUI) assists you in operating and configuring AntiVir UNIX
Server and it graphically displays the monitoring process. AntiVir UNIX Server is fully
functional and configurable even without GUI. The interface is an independent
application which can start and stop without influencing the AntiVir UNIX Server.
You need Sun Java 1.4.0 or higher to use the GUI.
You do not need root permissions to use the program with GUI as a normal user.
