Hi aakash_bhalla,

"Thumbs up" to the above,.  There is a "SAV for Linux" .iso that is available with the SEP 11 materials.  This will offer AV protection for many of your Linux machines (not every disto is supportd, and the computer must meet minimum requirements)

The following series of articles will help you make the most of SAVFL:

• SAV for Linux Scanning Best Practices: A (Somewhat) Illustrated Guide covers the importance of auto-protect scanning, necessary scan exclusions and how to test them
• SAV for Linux: A (Somewhat) Illustrated Guide Part 2 provides examples of the various different ways in which SAVFL can be configured (by command line, by GRC.DAT and by xsymcfg).
• SAV for Linux: A (Somewhat) Illustrated Guide Part 3 focuses on how to keep SAV for Linux up-to-date.
• SAV for Linux: A (Somewhat) Illustrated Guide Part 4: SAVFL Reporter illustrates how to get some data and events from those isolated, unmanaged SAVFL clients into the Symantec AV's central management and reporting tool, the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM). 

Please do update this thread with news if your question has been answered, or if there is something in addition that you need! &: )

Hello,

Symantec Endpoint Protection version 11/12 does not support Linux environment. There is no SEP for Linux. There is SAV for Linux (SAVFL) which is included on the SEP disk download.

The SAVFL client cannot be managed by the SEPM, although it can report logs back to the SEPM by using SAV Reporter, which was released after SAVFL 1.0.10, but can be downloaded from the following KB article.
