    I donwloaded/installed Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager 12.1, but the Client Deployment Wizard only has Windows and MAC. Where can I get Symantec AntiVirus for Linux?

    SAV for Linux currently cannot be managed by the SEPM, only WIndows and Mac machines.

    Check this KB article:

    http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO17995

    You can install Symantec AntiVirus for Linux (SAVFL) in an environment that contains Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP). The Symantec AntiVirus client for Linux includes real-time antivirus file protection through Auto-Protect scans and file system scans by using manual and scheduled scans.  SAV for Linux clients will be unmanaged by the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) because SAVFL is designed as a stand-alone product, though it is now possible to forward certain logs to the SEPM with the optional "SAVFL Reporter" module.

    It should be on the same DVD that SEP came on in the same folder as all the other client installs.
