[QUOTE="SeaKelp, post: 1112644, member: 113684"] Distributor ID: Ubuntu (Pro) Description: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Release: 24.04 Codename: noble Always looking for another second (or first) opinion Linux scanner. Played with Comodo for Linux a while ago and ran into the usual dependency problems and just didn't feel like running it down. Came across Comodo’s Best Antivirus for Linux 2024 today and it looked like the same old same old except for the "2024".

While nosing around a little I read some Linux antivirii basically look for snippets of Windows malware coding (translated into a Linux compatible format) which sounded plausible but I wouldn't know one way or the other if that's what Comodo for Linux 2024 does. Above both my knowledge and interest levels for my current needs but I looked further and found the way to ignore the dependency errors and install it. The GUI functions. Comodo’s Best Antivirus for Linux 2024 won't update manually or automatically but you can get updated Antiivirus Databases at Comodo.
