Installing Comodo for Ubuntu 12.04

How did you install it? Why are you running antivirus on a Linux box?

1. I installed it from the download provided by Comodo, and followed the installation instructions.
2. To protect against possible threats.

Probably be a good idea, to also post this question, at this site.

http://www.comodo.com/support/comodo-support.php

Already done that - still awaiting any response.

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Needs information' state without activity for the last 15 days.

hi together,

I found the working solution to fix this problem. The solution can be found here:

http://forums.comodo.com/comodo-antivirus-for-linux-cavl/filesystem-filter-driver-for-kernel-35314redirfs-and-avflt-t94441.0.html

This instruction includes several steps, which I will explane to you:

1. Download installer package from http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/antivirus-for-linux.php.

Install this package with gdebi.

2. then you need to install two packages from Synaptic:

a) redir
b) sqlite

Then close Synaptic.

3. Then we need this driver, which the diagnostic-tool tells us. You can get this driver needed from here:

http://www.bondoffamily-net.com/~kinta-chan/techknow/DownLoad/DownLoad.html

on this site, go to the upper section and there choose for kernel 3.14 or lower.

Download this tar-ppackage.

4. then go back to your Desktop and open your filemanager as root.

Unity: gksu nautilus (Passwort eingeben)

Cinnamon: Alt+F2 drücken und im erscheinenden prompt dass hier eingeben:

gksu nemo (Passwort eingeben).

5. driver.tar in opt/COMODO auswechseln:

therefore, we open the folder /opt/COMODO öffnen scroll completele down. There we see this mentioned package
Here, do a right-click and remoce this package!!

Then return back into your downloads-folder, where we have downloaded this new package "driver.tar". This needs to be copied.

then return back into this folder /opt/COMODO and insert back this new package!!

Then close this folder and you can also close nautilus e.g. nemo.

You can also alternativly do this via Terminal:

    cd /opt/COMODO

now press Enter

    sudo mv driver.tar driver.org

again press Enter

    sudo cp [<your name>/Downloads]/driver.tar

again press Enter.

6. now we need to run this post_install script:
Therefore, open a terminal and type in this:

    cd /opt/COMODO

press Enter

    sudo ./post_setup.sh

Then we see this declaration...read through it slowly, because you will have to accept it and you have to enter your emailaddress and you have to select the appropriate language for your system via a number out of a list, which will be shown to you during this process.

Please wait, until this process has completed!!

After this, you can close your terminal and return back to your COMODO-AntiVirus-software. There you will now see on the left pane, that this shield-applet will now turn from red to green and it will confirm, that all parts are now running.

But you can read this all also in the link, which I have posted right at the beginning of my posting.

Just do add one more little help for you:

when a new kernel arrives, this program stopps working. Then all you need to do is this:

1. open yout Terminal and type in this:

cd /opt/COMODO

2. type in this:

sudo ./post_setup.sh

3. click accept when prompted to to so

4. enter your email-address when asked to do so

5. choose number of your language shown in the list to you

6. press Enter and the rest rund automaticly.

Close your Terminal when this is done and your program will come back to work.

Greets,
