I've slowly been migrating friends and family to LinuxLite as their Windows (mostly XP) machines fail - most of the time this is due to OS issues caused by spyware, adware, viruses, etc. It's been going great so far, but now I've run into a situation where I'm moving a user over that historically very much needs an anti-virus solution in place.
So I'm wondering if anybody has suggestions for an on-access (or better, on-write) scanner what will work with LL 3.2. I've tried the following so far:
I'd prefer to get Comodo working, but it seems to have some issues building the RedirFS kernel modules for real-time protection in certain kernels - with the specific error being:
My fallback so far is ClamAV with a daily scan - but even that isn't great because it seems to only be able to schedule for a specfiic time, and this user shuts their box down when not in use so it could be days or weeks between ACTUAL scans. So I guess a secondary question is:
And finally, I'd love to find something that's free or not subscription based (mainly because this user isn't going to pay for it, and I don't want to have to do it for them) - but if that's not viable, what paid options have people used that actually work for them?
Thanks!

- Sophos (couldn't figure out how to get it it to work - plus it took a ton of memory
- Comodo (couldn't get it to update due to Application Agent not running)
- ClamAV (doesn't support on-access)

- Can I tell ClamAV to run at OR FIRST CHANCE AFTER a specific time?
