Hello,

I installed the Linux Malware Detect but was surprised to detect a virus scan and see viruses in the newly installed items.

So I removed LMD again.

I had to symlink egrep and fgrep on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to their location in /usr/bin/fgrep|egrep for LMD.

@Gio,

Yes LMD (Linux Malware Detect) package is still available to install on Linux. I have updated the article with the latest version and instructions…

Hi.

Just to reiterate some Admin question: this article was written back in 2015, so is this solution (aka LMD) still valid or outdated?

Thank YOU.

HI.

Admin question was not about the instruction but about whether LDM is still a valid solution or is outdated given that this article was written in 2015.

I am also curious of the same especially after visiting the website I could not find any reference to version number or last-update date.

Thank YOU.
