I need to find a real-time security solution for Ubuntu. I already tried ClamAV (with ClamTK), Bitdefender Scanner for Unices, and Avast4Linux Workstation, but they all are only scanners, and they don't have automatic scanning by default. Is there a certain product (or certain products) that provide real-time protection to your system (so it's not just a scanner like ClamAV)?
Answer
Yes, ESET Linux Antivirus 4 for Desktop works on Ubuntu 12.10 and later. This antivirus product; however, costs money. You can use any ESET license key (username and password) that works on the PC or Mac for this product as well. Another more known product is COMODO antivirus for Linux. It only works on Ubuntu 12.04, because it needs to install kernels that can only function on that version. These products should also have automatic updating as well.
You can also configure automatic scanning for some products such as ClamAV (including ClamTK), if that's all you want.
(Antivirus in Linux is not really needed, though)
