    Hi,

    Clamav is a very good piece of anti-virus freeware. However, if you feel more comfortable,

    Clam AntiVirus

    The documentation is not the best but definitely usable.

    There are NO viruses in linux. You dont need antivirus software!!!!

    Only you need antivirus for linux, if you have a home network which includes windows clients. The antivirus software in linux removes the viruses that would affect the windows computers. If you open a winodws virus in linux it has no meaning, you can just use it as ASCII, raw text , etc

    I use "firestarter" firewall it is in the package manager. I have been using linux for a few years now, and have never used antivirus.
