Having some initial problems with free antivirus for Linux

Adam Herbst

Hello! Hopefully I'm in the right forum. I just installed free antivirus for linux and am having some problems.

#1) I don't know if theres an actual GUI for this, I saw that the web gui is no longer supported when I try sudo /opt/sophos-av/bin/savsetup - if there is another GUI how do I access it on linux?

 

#2)  When I scan with savscan I notice a lot of files with "Could not open " in front of it followed by file names. - Is this normal?

 

#3) savupdate isn't working for me. I'm trying just putting in 'savupdate' in terminal. 

 

Seems like a good product so far, hope I can get help with these issues!

    Hello Adam Herbst,

    1. no GUI, but then one doesn't constantly change settings anyway
    2. if run savscan as non-root you'll naturally get a number of errno 13 (permission denied), but even if you run as root there'll be a few hundred Could not open caused by dead symlinks
    3. by default auto-updating is enabled, so there's usually no need to run savupdate. Did you turn it off during installation? You can check the configuration with /opt/sophos-av/bin/savsetup. Anyway, could you be more specific w.r.t.  isn't working?
