is there a free antivirus for ubuntu 10.10?

Hi
is there a free antivirus for ubuntu ?

maybe with a database that include windows virus , and that could remove malware

i'm looking for a free solution

i know avast and avg have a linux version but don't know how good they are under ubuntu

thanks
cheers

 

The scanner capability and the virus definitions of the avast linux version are the same as windows ones. Go ahead
You know, linux antivirus for pc (not servers) are only on demand (generally).

 

..

thanks Technical
is there only avast?

ps.it's off topic , will avast keep the ugly white box in the pop ups?

 

mantra, type bitdefender in the search box.

 

yes but it's not free https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitDefender

please check the link again its free for personal use

 

I meant the 'search this forum' box. Plenty there including how to get it to scan incoming
emails (only with evolution).

 

Re: ..

Yes. We, users, complained. But they want that way to generate more site traffic.

 

Re: ..

good
that's why i did not buy avast and i did buy eset again

 

Wow... Because a white message in the popup?
You can even disable the whole popup...
I can't see this as a reason for choosing an antivirus program...

 

well
do you know it started to use avast @ v2?
i guess i have still the dos floppy disks

now avast is very famous , but in the past the develop team take care about the clients , now they do what they want

i don't like this

 

Although not free Eset Nod32 for linux is excellent. There is a free trial available.

I used ClamAV before but it's out of date normally. Besides that you should grab rkhunter and chkrootkit from the repo's as the majority of attacks (malware) on linux are rootkits.

 

Well... I don't think the support get worse since than. Really, on contrary.
