i just see clam tk
thanks for the tutorial . I have rented cloud server with ubuntu from http://www.datasoft.ws for $12
Thanks, Stewart… I am learning Linux and this guide was so simple to follow and I trust my computer is secure. It would also be good to mention using a paid VPN and only running apps in sudo from the ubuntu software center as security measures.
But don't you turn off your computer at night?
Alt f2 didn't work for me. Any suggestions?
thanks for the info
Best Simple explanation i ever seen. Good Job bro…
can i install clamav in 32 bit and how
Thank you sir. I'm a newbie and found this to be VERY informative. Thank you for your time.
In the antivirus signatures for the ClamTk virus scanner it has "manual" and "automatic" rather than "single user" and "System wide". What is the difference? and which is recommended? Thank you for taking the time to make this video! =D
virus' arent the prob guys… ssh…
THANK YOU FOR THE TUTORIAL. IT WAS QUICK,EASY, AND EXTREMELY HELPFUL.
thaks for the advice! :} woot go ubuntu
@Piscess86 In this video I use clamav, simply because it's free, available in the Ubuntu repositories, has a 64-bit version and mostly because it can be set up using only the GUI, which is a requirement for all of my videos.
That said, both AVG and Avast have good, 32-bit clients for Linux. You can download them from their respective sites and pass –force-architecture to your dpkg command on 64-bit. I used to use and like AVG, but I find clamav to fulfil my needs and is well supported.
