Linux doesn’t really need an anti-virus. It’s good to have one just in case that day arises, or to protect Windows computers that you maybe sharing files with.

First install clam.

1. su

2. Install

  1. On Suse: zypper in clamav
  2. On Fedora: yum install clamav
  3. On Ubunt/Debian: sudo apt-get install clamav

3. update the clamav signature database by running “freshclam” (this might take a few moments)

4. Now scan directories with clamscan “clamscan –recursive /home/username”

All done.
