linux client for symantec antivirus

[johanb]

Hi,

At the moment, everything works, besides autoprotect, which is pretty 
important. And indead, certain kernels are being supported, which sucks, 
because it is only the kernels, linked to certain enterprise version of 
distributions (Novell, redhat, suse). There is a directory 
/opt/Symantec/autoprotect/  with two kinds of files : symap and symev 
for each of the versions supported linked to a certain kernel. So, even 
when i would downgrade to one of the kernels, it would be no use. 
Anybody knows from where those *.o and *.ko (for kernel 2.6) are coming 
from ?

For ex.
