Install free COMODO on Linux and fix redirfs issue

If you want to install free Comodo antivirus on Linux and fix nasty bug then…

1. Download COMODO free antivirus:

http://cdn.download.comodo.com/cavmgl/download/installs/1000/standalone/cav-linux_1.1.268025-1_amd64.deb

It’s ok if version is outdated, after installing it has to be updated.

2. Install it with:

sudo dpkg -i cav-linux_1.1.268025-1_amd64.deb

3. On newest linux kernel realtime module can’t be compiled. User from CAV-forum named KINTA-JAPAN created proper patches to resolve this issue.

- Download driver.tar from http://www.bondoffamily-net.com/~kinta-chan/techknow/Linux/RedirFS/DownLoad.html
- Replace /opt/COMODO/driver.tar
- Execute post_setup.sh

To replace driver.tar:

cd ~/Downloads
sudo mv driver.tar /opt/COMODO/driver.tar

To execute post_setup.sh:

sudo /opt/COMODO/post_setup.sh

Of course to build this modules we need kernel headers, which can be installed like this:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
