(FYI. Dazuko may have trailblazed some of the issues now under discussion re: libmalware.so. It has worked well for me. It used to be an LKM, it is now a source patch. It is used in a number of commercial products)

"A Virtual Device Driver to Allow Online File Access Control
A common interface is needed, which allows userland applications to perform online file access control. Dazuko aims to provide that interface."
FWIW, I'm not associated with Dazuko or Antivir; I've been happily using Dazuko with AntiVir for a year or so.
1. AntiVir includes numerous Linux signatures as well as Windows. So I scan both 'ix downloads, as well as the process of compiling new software.
2. Other AntiMalwares are using Dazuko, though many are scanning for Windows malware only.
3. The AntiVir/Dazuko combination with full heuristics has blocked access to clearly dangerous JS scripts in my browser cache.
4. IMHO, what is needed is a Dazuko or libmalware/Integrity database link. If an md5 of an executable or script is new or has changed, access is blocked 'til a response to a popup is given. Access can be blocked; one-time allowed; or permanently allowed, in which case the md5 is updated.
Hope This Helps.
