Hi. I'm trying to install COMODO antivirus but the avflt didn't succeed. So I manually downloaded that piece and am now trying to install it. But during the past many hours I haven't had any luck. The manual can be found here: "http://www.redirfs.org/svn/redirfs/tags/avflt-0.6/src/avflt/INSTALL".
That page tells to use a syntax like "make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` \EXTRA_CFLAGS=-I<full path to the redirfs dir> modules". What I understand the command is like this in my system:
"sudo make -C /lib/modules/3.8.0-25-generic/build M=/home/user \EXTRA_CFLAGS=-I/home/user/Downloads/avflt-0.6 modules".

But it doesn't work. I guess I misunderstood some of the syntax.
Does anybody know what to do?

Thanks in advance!

Some output that might help in solving the question:

Welcome to LQ.

http://www.redirfs.org/tiki-index.php
$ git clone git://www.redirfs.org/git/fhrbata/redirfs.git
$ cd redirfs/src/
$ make : The module avflt.ko is created. ( redirfs/src/avflt/avflt.ko ).

Thanks for the reply. I really like it. It seems very easy - maybe a bit too easy.

This is the end of the output I get when I follow the directions:

...
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-25-generic'
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-25-generic'

make[1]: *** [archheaders] Error 2

How can this be solved?

# 4 .

Better update your kernel / linux-headers : Those two must be an exact match.

Which OS are you using ? Name and version, please.

This is a completely fresh install of Linux Mint 15. I updated everything and that includes apt-get dist-upgrades.

I just followed this piece of guide which finally is kind of understandable and easy:
http://www.support4world.com/general...s-for-linux-os

"Install module
# make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` modules_install

Load redirfs.ko module
# modprobe redirfs"

It doesn't seem like it does the trick, though. But at least I was able to execute the commands without any errors...

By the way: some posts tells that 'dcache_lock' is NOT used any more and can be deleted so the compilation is able to complete. The post doesn't say how to delete it and I have absolutely no idea about how to do it (I guess I have to modify some heavy comfiguration-file).

I'm not really clear about why you are trying to compile comodo (or why you need an antivirus but that's another issue). I went to the commodo website here and it offers me a perfectly nice package for my distro (Debian) and my architecture (Amd64). I notice that it offers a package for Mint as well. So my question: why not avoid the hassle and simply install the package and be done with it?
jdk

That would be the preferable way of doing it. Actually it IS the way I did it.

The problem is that the protection in realtime needs to be "on". And according to several guides online the user needs to install "redirf" manually to obtain the full protection.

The program has a setting "security level" which can be set to "on access", too. But I'm having trouble trusting that setting when a whole lot of posts online tells me that I need to compile the "redirf" manually.

When I try to download testfiles from
http://www.eicar.org/85-0-Download.html

the program doesn't interrupt. I'm even able to open the files when I've downloaded them (the on-access-function ought to stop this). It's first if I do a manually scanning of the files the program tells me that 5 files are infected.

If I open the program then an icon to the far left is red with a white cross over it. Just below it states: "Filesystem filterdriver is not loaded". Yet another indication of the realtime-protection is NOT on.

Conclusion: on-access-protection is not working yet.

I have no idea what "redirf" is (not rediff, I presume). So I'll let you get on with it.
jdk

Well, redirfs is the thing that makes the protection realtime, I guess. I downloaded it in te initial step. Now I found it here, too (with the same guide on how to do it):
http://free.avg.com/us-en/129026

I tried to do what is stated at the buttom of this page, too:
https://forums.comodo.com/comodo-ant...6.5.html;wap2=

But nothing seems to accomplish the task of making the protection of the Antivirus to realtime. That's why I wanted to compile the stuff manually so I would fix the problem at a low level.

Ah, I fixed it now.

On
https://forums.comodo.com/comodo-ant...-t86415.0.html
I followed this:
"after times try to fix now it work ,
1) :
change first line of 3 file : /opt/COMODO/load_cmdagent.sh, /opt/COMODO/load_cmgdeamon.sh, /opt/COMODO/load_cav.sh form : #!/bin/shto #!/bin/bash
2) :
add too line

bash /opt/COMODO/load_cmdagent.sh start
bash /opt/COMODO/load_cmgdaemon.sh start

to file : /etc/init.d/boot.local

reboot ad see result"

After a reboot I open COMODO again. Now there's an icon in the left side of the GUI instead of some crazy characters. It said that an entire scanning hadn't been completed yet. So I did it.

This scan found the Eicar-files I had created. It found these, too:
/opt/cxoffice/lib/wine/fakedlls/winewrapper.exe
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/wine/fakedlls/iexplore.exe

After I fixed those files an icon of a green shield is shown in the left side of the GUI.

So I guess the issue is fixed now. Normally I wouldn't modify those files without knowing what it would do. But this time it was a success.

Thanks for your kind effort of support, though.
