I read through the two PDF files “savl_9_sgeng.pdf” abd “savl_9_cgeng.pdf” (see links from BobC above), and also followed some of the links in those articles to Sophos knowledge base articles. Well… Sophos for Linux sounds very interesting. This reply was modified 3 years, 10 months ago by BobC.

I see that Fanotify is not disabled, so maybe it is working in place of Talpa KBA14377 for supported platforms and kernels. Therefore the kernel modules have been locally compiled. NOTE: You are running Sophos Anti-Virus on a kernel for which Sophos does not provide binary kernel modules. Your computer is now protected by Sophos Anti-Virus. Sophos Anti-Virus starts after installation. When Sophos Anti-Virus starts, it updates itself to try to find a Sophos kernel interface module update.

There was an error during the install because the kernel wasn’t one of the ones they support: I found a separate forum for this particular program at: I have 2 separate worries about what will it do if it detects a virus, and if it detects something saying it has a virus that doesn’t really have a virus. That is done manually via the command line from what I read. I checked and it says it’s running, but not sure if it will restart after a reboot.

I can test its scanner, but not sure how to test its ability to protect.įrom what I could find and read there are no menu options.

It took me to a completely different area than the links from the main sophos site, and I was able to install the program. I have nothing against the company, I was just looking for an antivirus program that works, and doesn’t just expire in 30 days unless you pay $39 per year for a license. The thread with the complaints was actually for a another product originally sold by another company that sophos bought, so is unrelated to their linux program. They didn’t want anything that one wouldn’t find on some Facebook account or in the telephone book.Īlso, I can’t recall that they ever tried to prevent anybody, registering under some name like (just example):Ġ0 30 2286 might not be what you want, if you are ordering the stuff and also wanna get the support, in case something goes wrong. Tried Sophos a while back and they wanted registration and more information than I was willing to give them. Nobody sane is watching movies on a 6” instead of 40”+. It can do all one could ever need on the way make phonecalls and send SMS. The best protection is still the same as ever - 19.95 supermarket, no name brand phone. Such kind of stuff one even often gets from the own internet provider - you know, “national security letters” type of countries, care for your data.

It’s regularly updated and it exploits security holes long before any AV company developed protection. However, in some cases, there is no protection at all - it’s only a matter of time when you’ll get it.ĮvilGnome combined with Spear Phishing is just one such example.įinFisher (FinSpy) is another good one. The sole point of good AV is to detect as many Windows malware as possible - the only free Linux AV software that does it, is Sophos. The fact that one can “run it”, doesn’t help in no way. After reading this thread, I installed ClamAV and ClamTK (GUI) with Synaptic.ĬlamAV doesn’t work.
