the easiest way is install clamtk (GUI version for clamAV ) :
I am sometime installing avast but there is only version 4 for linux 32 bit only , you need to modified some file and avast update is download a whole definition update ( 80 MB files ). ClamAV is enough.
- Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install clamtk
