What is mod_antimalware_lite?

The mod_antimalware_lite web server module is an Apache module that can be used to automatically block infected web pages that Dasient detects from being served.  Instead of serving the infected page, mod_antimalware_lite will serve a pre-configured HTML message of your choice, such that users will not get infected.  The mod_antimalware_lite web server module can be used to help avoid blacklisting by search engines, browsers, desktop anti-virus packages and also gives a webmaster control of the messaging seen by users when a web site infection happens.

The mod_antimalware_lite module is a simple, open-source version of Dasient's full-fledged mod_antimalware module that can quarantine and strip out malicious code on infected web pages, while continuing to serve the 'good' parts of the page instead of blocking them completely, as mod_antimalware_lite does.

This is the v0.3 beta release of mod_antimalware_lite.  We look forward to your thoughts, feedback, suggestions, and contributions to make it easier to both install and use over time!
