Comodo Antivirus for Linux

I downloaded cav-linux_x64.deb from:

In trying to install it, Software Center error'd out - it couldn't install due to unmet dependencies. Software Center didn't detail which dependencies, however.

No problem:

Is it worth it to install it, knowing the dependencies?

Is libssl0.9.8 the only thing that's lacking above? If so, can we create a sym-link named libssl0.9.8, and link it to libssl1.1?

[EDIT]

Sorry, we were unable to deliver your message to the following address.

<[comodo@ubuntu64.com](mailto:comodo@ubuntu64.com)>:

No mx record found for domain=ubuntu64.com

Looks like no one is maintaining that package.

Seems to be a converted rpm package which why it may making crunch in the machine room, better check the dependencies of the rpm file then. LAzyness I guess not making a real .deb package.

Don't Bother, the last release for .db was 2013, some users have tried to strecth it out, but there's no developer support, its looking for older versions of libssl1.x that are no longer supported or in repos.

I don't really care that the software itself isn't updated regularly... if it works the way it's supposed to, it doesn't need an update.

What I care about is if it's downloading recent virus signature database files.

There's a way we can get the install working!

Extracted deb-package and edited DEBIAN/control file to add the missing dependency for “libssl1.0.0”

dpkg-deb -R cav-linux_1.0.220659-32_amd64.deb cav-linux_1.0.220659-32_amd64/
nano cav-linux_1.0.220659-32_amd64/DEBIAN/control
dpkg-deb -b cav-linux_1.0.220659-32_amd64/ cav-linux_1.0.220659-32_amd64_libssl1.0.0.deb

This has been patched in line “Depends:”

-- libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8m-1) ++ libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8m-1) | libssl1.0.0

After repack install and it seems to work so far!

It's still missing redirfs and avflt modules, though. :expressionless:

[EDIT]
An update on what I've found thus far:

How Install...
(1)Execute CAVL installer.
(2)Download driver.tar from http://www.bondoffamily-net.com/~kinta-chan/techknow/Linux/RedirFS/DownLoad.html
(3)Replace /opt/COMODO/driver.tar
(4)Execute post_setup.sh

Additional...
When "Check for Updates" is executed, update driver.tar again before reboot.

That URL, though, is 404. :expressionless:

The problem though at least as I understand it, is that it relies on the 2013 libssl1 libraries, the libraries have been updated too drastically since then and thus doesn't run even when you have the library installed, and rolling back and installing an older version may break much more. as this handles ssl - so could potentially break all internet traffic for you install.

Kinda like how an application will run on Java 1.6.2_100 but not 1.6.2_101 until the developers update the jar file to a new scheme or call name.

The other concern here is that all updates to the package are cve related security vulnerabilities, so using an older version will open your system to known exploits in the wild and as amazing as Linux is its still not a good idea. Which indicate that its failure to work on modern versions may lie in it use of outdated unsafe and broken ssl

Hi all.

Why not use ClamTK - I see it is still active and on-demand scanner.

Correct me if I am wrong, this isn't Windows so AV isn't really needed For Linux 'per say' and having an on-demand AV for USB Drive scanning etc I would recommend.

I know the above is debatable so please don't hate :slight_smile: - just commenting on my current experience and what I currently do with Linux and AV protection.

If anyone has better recommendations, I will also appreciate it. :slight_smile:

Cheers and greetings from South Africa.
