Yes ... I'm using it on
my Ubuntu machine, as I used to share thumb 
drives with my friends who are using M$ os. obviously I don't need to 
protect my Linux machine, I've installed it to test it, it works like 
charm and clears virus from drives ??


Warm Regards

of course there can be differences of opinion about what constitutes
malware and not all software will agree on the threshold. That doesn't
make one necessarily better unless you have actually analyzed what
Kaspersky identified as positive and have reason to believe that it is a
genuine threat. Generally, these positives derive from vague java cache
files that probably don't amount to much but of course we can't know
that from this anecdotal report.

I was enquiring regarding the Linux version of this particular 
anti-virus as per the link I posted ( anti-virus-for-linux.php ). I 
wanted to know if anybody had any experience with this Linux version. 
The link you provided may have proven useful had I been searching for 
windows based troubleshooting. Thanks.

I received some phishing scams with executables in attached zip files. 
ClamAv didn't find anything wrong, but when I scanned the same zip files 
with Kaspersky, it found malware. When I decompressed the zip files Clam 
still didn't find anything wrong. I'm going to try comodo on these files 
and see...

In fact, a quick search at your mail domain (.com) shows a lot of
windows software useful for windows, including this antivirus. Not
related to this list, thanks.

I use ClamAV.  What does Comodo add to the party?  Can anyone do a
side-by-side review?

That's what I wanted to know. I actually installed it and it started 
finding malware in windows backups I made from another machine. Look 
good so far....
