How to download free version of AV for Linux?

Avir Testov

I can easily download trial AV for Windows and Mac but when I try the one for Linux I'm sent to additional agreement which I certainly accept. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to proceed any further regardless how many times I try or wait.

 

Is there any clue or checkbox I forgot to click?

    , pity you. [;)]  I had been trying for several months, submitted tons of compliance form, all in vain. See the other thread here.

    In my view dealing with Sophos is waste of time. Unfortunately for people like you and me, not many antivirus vendors provide their solutions for Linux retail segment.

    Fortunately (!) Dr.Web and ESET have fantastic products for Linux. They are not completely free but there is a way to purchase Dr.Web Security Space for 4y for ~19 USD. There are huge and very much legal discounts for ESET as well.

    Once you have a license from Sophos, you'll have Sophos Central console to download the installer directly and that'll not have an export compliance form to be filled up. The same scenario is for Enterprise console as well because when you purchase any product from Sophos, this form is already filled by you while purchasing a license.

    Downloading an installer from the website is basically for the trial license customers.

    Whatever is needed, I never got anything. Like I wrote many times already, I have the account, I filed that form many times. Look, I might be even satisfied having a trial version of this software. Previously I reported that I tried Sophos for Windows and it turned to be way below my expectations. Maybe Sophos for Linux would end up with the same fate. But I will never know this. Hope springs eternal is not about Sophos. Thanks to all this bureaucracy, Sophos is a dead product for me. Sorry for being blunt.

     

    But why am I saying this? Dr.Web or ESET do the job. Trying to get Sophos for Linux is waste of time. Period, end of discussion.

    Hi Avir,

    just because you've mentioned it so many times, I've to say Dr.Web for Linux is a nightmare.

    We were Dr. Web partner for many years and used it als icap-server on our Linux firewalls.

    Fortunately we'll never know how bad Sophos really is.
