Hi. ( I am good at speaking English a lot not. Sorry… :cry: )

I used “Avast Network Security for Linux”.
After checking the website for the first time in a year, “Avast Network Security for Linux” has been renewed to “Avast Business Antivirus for Linux”.
Is there a version for centos 6 of “Avast Business Antivirus for Linux”?

Supported OS:

CentOS 7 and above
Debian 8 and above
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 and above
Ubuntu LTS 16.04 and above

Thank you for your help.

Hello,
Avast RHEL package is still being built on centos 6 and it should work on RHEL 6 and 7. We do not yet support RHEL8 due to CentOS 8 not being available yet. I am not sure about what is written on the web, however we will continue supporting RHEL6 until 2020 when it’s support ends.
Kind regards,
Ondrej Kolacek

Hi, the new release 4.0.3 supports RHEL 8 and its clones. CentOS 8 is now EOL, so that won’t work anymore, but other clones are supported.

See https://repo.avcdn.net/linux-av/doc/avast-techdoc.pdf

Full list of currently supported distributions:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, CentOS 7 or compatible
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, AlmaLinux 8, Rocky Linux 8 or compatible
  • Debian 10
  • Debian 11
  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
