Despite not really needing to use an antivirus in Linux, it is not a bad idea to prevent your system from inadvertently becoming a carrier by using these programs. Show notes: http://www.lockergnome.com/linux/2007/11/13/antivirus-programs-for-ubuntu/

  • Thumbs up but you didn't even show how to get these..

  • @Treythurber1 The ClamAV option is available via the Software Center. The other two are (or were) available from Google - literally like three words. free.avg.com/us-en/download.pr­d-alf & avast.com/linux-home-edition#t­ab4

  • what is gk sudo?

  • @zXJulianXz gksudo, actually. And it will allow a user to bring up a sudo option, with a GUI popup. BTW, this video is ancient and outdated. Just a heads up. :)

  • Guys, tips don't do this because, 100% viruses goto windows users and ubuntu lunix pretty much no viruses.

  • @basicxml Just to make sure we're on the same page.

    1) Three year old video

    2) Yes, there is Linux malware, with 99% of malware going to Windows. Linux users CAN spread non-Linux viruses to Linux users.

    Thanks

  • help me i dont now how to uninstall avast linux version please

  • I use Bitdefender. All the other AV's for Ubuntu I've tried were full of bugs.

  • @TheEndIsN1gh something to try if you have a laptop or desktop with a cd drive is to try and make a live cd (ubuntu dot com has tutorials as well as youtube for how to make one) and try doing that :) I would go for the latest version of Ubuntu or their newest LTS like 10.04)

  • @ctsdownloads never hurts tor 'newbs' to brush up on linux via videos and community forums and such and maybe even use a live cd/dvd so as not to muck up their system.
