You should only need antivirus software to keep from passing along malware to a windows box (like thru an email attachment someone sent you that you forward to another windows user). You don't have much to worry about viruses with Linux.

I was about to ask you which distro you were running but I finally noticed it's Ubuntu. BTW, the distro field is for your Linux distribution info only. You need to remove all the hardware info. It makes it easier for folks to help you if they can quickly identify which distro you're needing help with. Wink

Anyway, open Synaptic and do a search for Clamav. Install it plus install any dependencies synaptic recommends. Clam Antivirus should fill your needs perfectly. Smile
