ESET SysRescue Live
ESET SysRescue Live uses GNU Linux OS to run from either an optical disk or USB drive. It is based on the LXDE desktop session environment making it lightweight and fast. The package system APT (Debian package management utility) allows you to install potentially useful packages, for example applications or drivers.

If you are an experienced Linux administrator, you can use LXTerminal console to perform the necessary operations under root privileges (you must enter sudo before each console command), such as fsck for file-system check, cfdisk (console version), or

GParted (graphic user interface version) to open the partition manager.

To access the Internet, use the integrated Chromium web browser by clicking system menu Browser.

Linux:
From ESET's website:

The Linux distributions supported by ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 for Linux Desktop are as follows: Red Hat, Mandriva, SUSE, Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora (32-bit). Installing on other Linux distributions may require the administrator to perform additional tasks due to the large variety of Linux distributions. These tasks may include the installation of missing packages or init script modification.

Thanks to ESET.

After downloading the installer you will need to first set it as executable then run it:

Terminal:~$ chmod +x YOUR_FILENAME_HERE sudo ./YOUR_FILENAME_HERE

NOTE: You must follow the steps below to undertake a custom installation and add yourself (the profile that you are using) or others; if want to be able to have access to the full range of options in the ESET NOD32 Linux GUI.





The user you are logged in as should show on in the left hand side of the screen (blurred out in this case), if you want add other users tick the 'Show all users' box at the bottom of the screen.



You should end up with the required username on the right hand side of the screen.



Once the installation has completed the system will require rebooting, but this can be delayed.

If you encounter the following error message on reboot (which should not affect the actual reboot itself) or see it in the terminal 'ld.so:_object_.27libesets_pac.so.27_from_.2Fetc.2Fld.so.preload_cannot_be_preloaded:_ignored', the fix for which is listed below.

ld.so: object 'libesets_pac.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded: ignored
sudo nano -w /etc/ld.so.preload

Comment out the row:


 * 1) libesets_pac.so

Next:

sudo nano -w /etc/rc.local

Before the final line in the file add the following line:

/opt/eset/esets/sbin/esets_daemon

Then manually run the daemon:

sudo /opt/eset/esets/sbin/esets_daemon

ESET Client Fails To Run On Systemd Based Computers
Currently ESET is not supported on Ubuntu 15.04 and Debian 8.0 so after running the installer file undertake one of the following methods to ensure that the installation runs correctly.

Method A

Open a new Terminal window.

sudo cd /lib/systemd/system nano -w eset.service

Add the following content to the file:

[Unit] Description=ESET Scanner Daemon After=network.target [Service] ExecStart=/opt/eset/esets/sbin/esets_daemon ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID KillMode=process PIDFile=/var/run/esets_daemon.pid Restart=always Type=forking [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save and close the file.

Start the newly created "eset" service:

sudo systemctl start eset

Start ESET NOD32 Antivirus from your Desktop environment.

Method B

Alternatively, you can start and configure the ESET services and GUI from the Terminal:

/opt/eset/esets/bin/esets_gui sudo systemctl enable eset

Ensure the ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux Desktop is starting automatically after logging into the Desktop environment.
