Installing COMODO Antivirux

[Alex]

No it's not there, it seems to be in the comodo folder, or is that another "driver.tar"? And should I have oner in my home folder?

Sorry, I am not very good at this

In all honesty theres no need for AV on Linux. If you really insist on having AV, consider installing ClamAV.

Code:

sudo apt-get get installl clamtk

Much easier

You want

Code:

cd /opt/Comodo

to run the command then since the tar is in the Comodo folder inside of the opt folder.

Then run the sudo cp command that Valtam gives you.

Valtam posted earlier than me so if wanting Clam. Go for it.

I have Clam, I wasn't sure if it was good enough...Comodo looked so much like something I was more used to. Installing Clam was super easy even for me.  If it's good enough then oK, but I hate leaving anything done half way. So I'll give it one more try.

Well a whole of stuff happened...pages of licensing agreement then it told me it was all installed!

But it did not work from the desktop i got the notice to run: /etc/init.d/cmdavd restart.

When I tried that I got this:

alex@alex-OptiPlex-GX620:~$ cd /
alex@alex-OptiPlex-GX620:/$ /etc/init.d/cmdavd restart
ERROR:To run this script make sure you have Super User (root) permission.
alex@alex-OptiPlex-GX620:/$ cd /
alex@alex-OptiPlex-GX620:/$ whoami
alex
alex@alex-OptiPlex-GX620:/$ pwd
/
I thought that when I was in "/" I did have root permission, or is Super User something even more powerful?

:o

[Valtam]

Try: sudo /etc/init.d/cmdavd restart

[Alex]

I don't think it worked:

/etc/init.d/cmdavd: 64: .: Can't open /etc/init.d/functions

was the only result. as far as I can see

Hello!

Valtam is correct - you don't need AV for Linux unless you use Windows files, and that's only to keep you from passing on infected Windows files from or to other Windows PCs.

For that purpose ClamAV and freshclam (to keep ClamAV current) are sufficient for that purpose, and virus definitions gets updated quite frequently...

Thank you N4RPS I have sort of given up on it anyway especially after I was told I did not need it...now I have to figure out how to get rid of it, all of it.  :
