@Dragonmouth,

Thank you for your feedback! I’ll make the necessary edits to remove mentions of Sophos, F-Prot, and Comodo. The title will also be updated to “5 Great Security Applications for Linux”. I appreciate your input and hope the revised article will be to your satisfaction.

“Do you know any reputable antivirus solutions for Linux?”

Alas, the only one I know and use is ClamAV.

If you edit out any mention of Sophos, F-Prot, and Comodo AND change the title to “5 Great Security Applications for Linux” you’ll have a winning article. :-)

Do you know any reputable antivirus solutions for Linux? If yes, please mention them here. Your feedback will greatly assist us in correcting and updating this article.

The title still claims that the article is about “The 8 Best Free Anti-Virus Programs for Linux”. Only ClamAV is an antivirus. At the mention of least ClamTk was removed.

The article still presents ChrootKit, Rkhunter Firejail, and Qubes OS as Anti-virus programs. Sophos, F-Prot, and Comodo are no longer in existence for Linux operating systems.

If the article contained spelling, grammar, syntax, or translation errors, I would not care. However, the article provides serious misinformation about the SECURITY of our systems. Even if you change the title to “8 Security Applications for Linux” it still would be flawed as three applications no longer exist. You are down to five “security applications”.

I have been reading Tecmint for over 10 years. The technical information Tecmint provides is top-notch. However, over the past couple of years, the quality of the writing has been going downhill, as evidenced by this article.

@Dragonmouth,

Yes, F-Prot is no longer in existence, which means the information in the article is outdated. It was an antivirus software that was active in the past but has since been discontinued.

You are correct. Firejail is a sandboxing application designed to provide additional security. It is not an antivirus application.

I apologize for the incorrect information in my earlier response.

Regarding the suggested title change, it seems like a reasonable approach to avoid any potential confusion or misrepresentation. Adjusting the title to “8 Security Applications for Linux” would provide a broader scope while still encompassing various security tools beyond antivirus applications.
