Clam antivirus scan not visible in Mint 10 menu

[SURNAME]

I have been using Mint 10 operating on my desktop from last one month and I was not having any antivirus software installed on it. Last night while browsing the internet there was virus attack on my system and due to this virus attack my operating system files got corrupted. My operating system got completely crashed and the system was failed to start up. So I formatted the system and installed Linux mint10 operating system on it. I also installed Clam antivirus so that my system could be protected. Initially scanning could be visible on the Mint Menu but now the application is only available on Right-Click as "Open with Virus Scanner". I wanted to get the scan back into the menu but I am unaware of the steps to perform it and therefore I need a solution for this problem.

While scanning the system with Clam antivirus, the scanning was not shown in the Mint 10 menu. Thanks for providing me the solution. From the above given solution it was possible for me to set the scanning in the menu. While scanning is going on I am getting disk errors and therefore I need a solution so that I can troubleshoot this problem easily and my system can go a long way without any error.
