Without questioning the need for having such AV it's not a topic that's never been discussed before. See for instance http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ux-4175432214/

Any AV vendor that provides mail scanning may reasonably be expected to offer real time scanning as well. Maybe I should have pointed you directly to post #6 where I talk about Dazuko (old school) and RedirFS as the new method, in the sense that any vendor offering RedirFS, or their own developed (but more likely: branded) equivalent, supports on-access scanning. Also saying "without making any problems" and "bad experience" doesn't give us a clue as to what the problem was.

It won't do any good, but I'll sell you one nonetheless for a subscription price of $5,000 (USD) per week. For which I promise that my snake-oil will provide every bit as good "hands-free thought-free protection" as any other alternative would do.

Having determined that you want to approach this "thought-free," I figure that I can take your money, anyway, and that you might be willing to give it to me without a second thought. Yep, ol' Mr. Barnum said that "there are two to take him," and I'll be pleased to be one of the two. That money in your pocket looks real heavy; better give some of it to me.

you are right again , the problem that i faced was redirfs itself as it cause kernel panic on all of the distributions am using [ kernels 2.6.X ] , example

[<ffffffff800a3ca0>] keventd_create_kthread+0x0/0xc4
[<ffffffff800339ca>] kthread+0xfe/0x132
[<ffffffff8008c355>] vcpu_put+0x91/0x172
[<ffffffff80061001>] child_rip+0xa/0x11
[<ffffffff800a3ca0>] keventd_create_kthread+0x0/0xc4
[<ffffffff800338cc>] kthread+0x0/0x132
[<ffffffff80060ff7>] child_rip+0x0/0x11
Code: 0f 0b 68 cc 8d 73 88 c2 3d 00 eb fe f0 ff 87 14 01 00 00 48
RIP [<ffffffff887352d6>] :redirfs:rfs_inode_get+0x1c/0x33
RSP <ffff81083d77bc68>

Support from both vendor admit the problem and offer solution on the road map 2 years ago , till now still exist


2. second issue with redirfs because its loadable module it should recompile after the kernel upgrade , though this can be handled by script but it can be considered a problem

3. The high load average it caused and this also can be handled via upgrading the memory [ 8G to avoid this problem ]

Can you consider one of the enterprise level boarder type devices? This should free your server and get near copper speeds on access.

Getting back to the original question, take a look at F-Prot or AVG for Linux.

I've used both in their free-for-home-use versions. They are unobtrusive and well-behaved.

This was his question. "am looking for commercial antivirus that can support real time protection for linux without making any problems"

I felt that a commercial appliance was within the scope of the problem.
