I’ve come to realize that the most recent version of symantec for linux actually works. The realtime scanner at least.
Now that that works I just need to get liveupdate to work!
With Liveudate, I’m able to get the definitions to download, but liveupdate then fails and it never applys the update.

I’ve had the most success with the updates at ftp.symantec.com. After putting together a series of scripts to download the updates, extract them from the scripts they have them in (I seem to have issues if I run it), then copy the files to the /opt/Symantec/virusdef/incoming directory.
This seems to work pretty well at this point.

—————————–

As an update to this, I now have it all working as it should!
I found my issue with liveupdate, it seemed like if I free up at least 3GB of disk space, it will work.

As for the ftp definitions, I found out that recently they have moved to supporting x86 and x86-64 in the same download (the 32bit one). I haven’t been able to locate this in any document yet however.
