Antivirus

From MEPIS Documentation Wiki

Actually, Linux is pretty secure in this respect. There are few viruses and even fewer (none, at this moment) in the wild. However, to stay on the safe side and to be able to scan the Windows partition (if you dual boot), here are some antivirus solutions:

ClamAV

• Clam AntiVirus is a GPL anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. http://www.clamav.net/
• You can also get KlamAV the GUI frontend for ClamAV (the latest version for Mepis 7.0 can be found at the community repo) from: http://klamav.sourceforge.net/

F-Prot

2. Follow the prompts and choose "Download and install".
3. Type "man f-prot" for more details.
