Comodo Antivirus for Linux (CAVL) is a free anti-virus software especially designed for Linux distributions and compatible with the following mail agent systems: Sendmail 8.x, qmail 1.x, Postfix 2.5.x or higher, Exim 4.x, and Amavis 2.x.

Key features of the Comodo Antivirus product include proactive anti-virus protection, automatic updates of its internal database, scan scheduler, custom scan profiles, detailed event viewer, as well as email filter.

Another interesting feature is the built-in support for a wide range of mail systems, among which we can mention Sendmail 8.14.4, Exim 4.x, Postfix 2.5.x or higher, qmail 1.06, and Amavis 2.6.4.

The application features a tab-based graphical user interface with Summary, Antivirus, Mail Gateway, and other views. From the Summary tab, users will be able to get an overview of the software, which includes the status of the antivirus, the number of threats detected, the status of the mail gateway, as well as the status of the virus signature database.

While users will be able to run a scan, update the virus database, view quarantined items, view antivirus events, submit files, schedule scans, configure scanner options, or add/remove scan profiles from the Antivirus section, they can change SMTP configuration, host settings, certificates, and antispam settings from the Mail Gateway section.

The Comodo Antivirus software has been engineered in such a way that it runs well on a wide range of GNU/Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server, Fedora, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, openSUSE Linux, and CentOS, which are officially supported by Comodo.

While both 32 and 64-bit computer platforms are supported at this time, the software requires a computer with a CPU running at 2 GHz, at least 2 GB of RAM (system memory), and at least 40 GB of free disk space.
