How to install Comodo Antivirus in Ubuntu?

I have installed Comodo Antivirus in Ubuntu 12.04. Now it had installed, but after running it it shows to run a script.

Please help me to install Comodo Antivirus (or suggest any good Antivirus).

First, you really don't need an antivirus for Ubuntu unless you're planning on dealing with windows files and/or systems.

You can download Comodo Antivirus from their website, and choose your architecture 32bit or 64bit. Once downloaded, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, navigate to where the file was downloaded (probably the Downloads folder), and run the command(s) below:

sudo dpkg -i <file_name>.deb

I would recommend ClamAV. To install run in terminal

sudo apt-get install clamav
sudo freshclam
sudo clamscan

3- Download

In Ubuntu 12.04 the command to run the script begins with "sudo" because you have to run the script with administration privileges.

The command you type out in the terminal is: sudo /opt/COMODO/post_setup.sh

Then enter your password. Then just keep clicking "enter" to scroll down and see the "more" of the EULA, until you get to where it tells you Comodo has been successfully installed and the terminal prompts you for a fresh command for something else. Now close the terminal and you are done.

It worked for me.

To iterate for the Comodo antivirus libssl issue, do the following:

• Open the /etc/apt/sources.list file as root:

  sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

• Enter the following:

  ## COMODO CAV-LINUX REPOSITORY
  deb trusty-security main universe;

• Then run:

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8

• Retry running:

  gdebi cav-linux_x64.deb

1 st download from site antivirus.. then unpack it with:

• sudo dpkg -i cav-linux_1.1.268025-1_amd64.deb
• sudo apt-get install clamav
• sudo apt-get -f install
• sudo /opt/COMODO/post_setup.sh

the last provides a license agreement..
