I usually use filunK with a Linux laptop. This time, __ Your favorite antivirus software Sophos Antivirus for Linux (SAV for Linux) is no longer supported. There is no announcement that seems to be an announcement, but the download page has been deleted and when I contacted support,
Removed link due to end of product support
And that.
So I have to find a migration destination. After all, security software for Linux. There are a lot of options for corporate customers (SAV for Linux seems to continue as part of Sophos Central for corporate customers), but I can't find any information when it comes to personal products.
So I tried to summarize it briefly.
The free version and OSS of each anti-virus software are applicable. I remember that antivirus for Linux used to come out from various places free of charge, but now it's a pity that most of them have shifted to corporate use and have become EOL in the first place. As far as I searched, I couldn't find a product that was a free version. __ Please comment if you have any information __
ClamAV
As you all know (?), It is OSS anti-virus software. Since ancient times, it has always been named as an antivirus software for Linux. It's included in the package of each distribution, so it's easy to install.
However, what firunK did not make the migration destination
Because I had the impression. As firunK wants to throw the antivirus as softly as possible, it is troublesome and may interfere with the operation, so I gave it up.
Linux Malware Detect
Linux Malware Detect(aka LMD, maldet)
Furthermore, there seems to be something like this as an OSS antivirus. It has an anti-virus function, but it seems that ClamAV can be used as an engine. Little information was found and could not be picked up for migration. Can you find the following entries on Qiita?
Malware detection tool Linux Malware Detec I tried Linux Malware Detect [CentOS 7.6]
It is anti-virus software developed by each company as a paid version for individuals.
NOD32 Antivirus for Linux Desktop
Legendary antivirus for Linux; ESET NOD32 ANTIVIRUS FOR LINUX DESKTOP
$ 39.99 / 1 unit per year Anti-virus software developed by Slovak company ESET. In Japan, Canon ITS sells it as a distributor, but only the Windows version and Mac version are sold. ~~ Naze sale, no sale ~~ Therefore, the Linux version must be purchased directly from ESET. Of course, the exchange of purchases is in English, and the product probably has a Japanese UI.
Dr.Web Antivirus for Linux
¥ 2900 + tax / 1 unit per year Anti-virus software developed by Russian company Dr.Web. There is a Japanese site available (however, depending on the link destination, it will be Russian), and payment in Japanese yen is also possible. Dr. Web does not participate in famous virus tests such as AVtest,
These capabilities are not tested at all for the ability to counter unknown threats that are not in the antivirus database tested at the time of intrusion.
He said he stopped participating for some reason. Please refer to the following article for details
Doctor Web: statement on Virus Bulletin comparative reviews
It is said that it has been introduced in Russian government offices. Above all, there is a Japanese UI, so I decided to move to this one this time.
Many people think that they don't need antivirus because it's Linux. Certainly, there may be advantages in terms of anti-malware such as strict ownership-based access control and standard firewall, but Linux is safe nowadays when Linux is widely used in the cloud etc. I don't think it's firunK. I hope that those who use Linux for desktop purposes will be an opportunity to think about introducing antivirus, or it will be helpful for those who have the same problem. ~~ Will Sophos Central be available to individuals, or will there be a Linux version on Sophos Home ~~
