Starting and Stopping AntiVir MailGate Manually
program is automatically started and stopped by the system.
However, you may need to start and stop AntiVir MailGate manually. Any changes 
in configuration files must be followed by a restart of the program, for activation.
The script
 /usr/lib/AntiVir/avmailgate
 starts and stops the scanner and mailgate 
daemon.
You must login as

 or you must have the required access rights to start or stop AntiVir
