For a very good reason, this is not the correct forum. This is a firewall forum.

One of the moderators might read you request and move you to the correct forum.

Hello Henrique RJ,

"regular" moderators can only move a thread if the original poster has joined the target group (in your case Free Tools).

Meanwhile to answer your question: While the Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux / Unix: Anti-Virus and HIPs policy - applicable settings article is targeted at Enterprise Console users is suggests that Adware and PUAs are not detected on Linux / Unix.

Hello Henrique RJ,

thanks for joining this group.

why not detect
most Adware and PUAs target the "popular" OSs, Windows and OS X. Ideally the scanner should detect everything everywhere (well, some argue that it should only scan for threats to the platform it's running on). In real life you can't have everything thus the scanner has to make some trade-offs. While the scan for viruses and malware is cross-platform certain functions of the scanner (and scan for Adware and PUAs is among them) is platform-specific.

any secret tip
I'm afraid, no.

Why do you want to for PUAs and which PUAs do you have in mind?

Phishings and miners.

Remind savscan, in on-demand, accept -pua and -adware. Why, in on-access, not accept ?

Thanks

Hello Henrique RJ,

can't say why the -pua option is only available from the command-line. Perhaps DouglasLeeder can tell.
