Sadly KlamAV seems to have ceased development, the most recent version was released in 2009, and unfortunately doesn’t seem to really play well with versions of linux and versions of clamav released after that time, for example there are issues with file permissions and with updating the virus definition database, when you close the gui you get an error saying the update process died, and leaving the gui running for what should be a sufficient time period for it to update the definitions still results in the same error message (confirmed on 2 separate systems both running Kubuntu 10.10 32 bit). It would be very nice if someone with the appropriate programming knowledge for KDE4 would port this program to be able to work with newer releases of linux, sadly I am not such a person.

Other than the lack of update features and mail scanning features ClamTk seems to be a viable alternative in terms of providing a gui to enable scanning specific files/folders using clamav.

I want to use ubuntu software. But I only worry about virus attact. I Cannot use credit card or paymet according to our county’s policy. So I am looking for free antivirus software for ubuntu . Other ubuntu users in our country told me that they cannot watch vcd or dvd s in ubuntu window. We also use yourfreedom software to by pass the our surver firewall . I also want to know that this software can work in ubuntu or not.

If you’re going to use clamav it’s much better to use lenny-volatile repository than ‘regular’ Lenny repository.

I think Clamav is the best antivirus. I’ve used for years. I use gnome though. I use Clamwin for my windows computers. Kudos to Clamav team.

ClamAV is primarily designed for Linux servers that have Window’s hosts as most of it’s definitions are for Window’s viruses (particularly mail viruses). Good to see this though as Linux popularity grows it will obviously become of bigger use for Linux in the future.

Thanks a lot this will be ferry useful, hopefully you will keep on writing, in near future, more security for the linux system like trojan horses, keyloggers, etc.
