in fact if you do not use it to guard file server, no need to turn on realtime scanning.

Do you mean that CAVL is not intended to catch malware in real time?

[kingsdave]

Yes.

Thanks.

Hi daduck10,

Thanks for your feedback. could you help to check the issue by the following steps?
- disable realtime scanning, in fact if you do not use it to guard file server, no need to turn on realtime scanning.
- scan with cloud scan enabled.
- check if process cmdagent still exist after scanning

Thanks,
Yanghua

The process from the antivirus (cav) after the crash was working. The antivirus just stops to work with all the computer.

Hi Boris 3,

In version 1.0, CAVL and CIS for Windows use the same base file, so CAVL only detect malware on Windows platform. If we use a Linux file server, enable real time scanning will help to scan files uploaded by users. If we only use it as a mail gateway, or schedule scan stored files, no need to enable real time scanning.

Thanks,

Hi daduck10,

cav is only UI, cmdagent is the real scanning process. So could you help to report cmdagent's status?

The cmdagent I don't found, just the cav process even with the scan working and the real time enabled. About another question, cavl detects just malwares for windows or detects for linux too?

[casachit]

installed in newly install ubuntu 12.04 .. working smooth as usual....

but I have request for developer please add context menu scanning option....

will it be "self updating" like windows version? I mean App itself, not virus database

I am using it with the default settings.

No problems for me so far.

Hi casachit,

Good suggestion, we will consider "right click context menu" in next version.

Thanks,

Hi conta,

Sure. CAVL has binary update functionality which can update all related executable and data files.

Hi daduck10,

In fact, process cav is just the UI, process cmdagent process scan task and return result to process cav.
Could you give me your email account? So I can contact you for detailed info?

CAVL only detect Windows malware now, signatures in bases.cav are only for Windows.

Thanks,

First, thanks for the program.

I have installed on ubuntu 12.04 and I have a similar problem to some others.

The full system scan freezes and freezes the system - I have to use alt prtsc REISUB to restart the machine.

The freeze seems to be at a linux-headers file - usually auto.conf.

Real time scanning seems to work fine (it catches eicar test file).

Scan of critical areas and home works fine.
