Title: Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux Release 9.Preview on LL kernel 3.8.0.34
Post by: Alan_uk on April 10, 2014, 01:23:44 PM
After looking at lots of ant-virus packages I'm homing in on Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux. I'm using an email package under Wine (as I've 10s of 1,000s of email that I use for reference). So I feel I must protect friends and colleagues by not passing on Windows viruses.

System Information shows Linux Lite kernel at 3.8.0.34

Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux version 9.x Recommended supports Ubuntu 12.04 LTS but stops at kernel linux-image-3.5.0-48-generic_3.5.0-48.72

Sophos Anti-Virus for Linux version 9.x Preview supports Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with kernels linux-image-3.8.0-33-generic_3.8.0-33.48 and linux-image-3.8.0-35-generic_3.8.0-35.52 but not 3.8.0.34

Is anyone running Sophos Anti-Virus successfully on the Preview version? If so, is that Recommended or Preview.
