Win 32 Virus Scanner?

[Tanner2007]

Any virus scanner for ubutnu? I wish to download *blank* and most of which usually contains a virus (I mainly use vista) so if i download off of ubuntu I wish to make sure there is no virus before moving it to my vista partition

Stand by for the people who might want to ask "why do you want antivirus on Linux?"

There are a number which run on Ubuntu. My favourite is AVG but the latest Linux version is command-line only.

The following links should get you headed in the right direction:

ClamAV Antivirus
AVG Antivirus
Panda Antivirus
F-Prot Antivirus
BitDefender Antivirus
avast! Linux Home Edition
Avira Antivirus

...and they are all free.

Hi Tanner2007.

Click system> administration> synaptic package manager.

Search for clamtk.

Install it.

You will be able to scan any downloads by clicking applications> system tools> virus scanner.

Since you said *blank* it's probably not legal. And as far as Ubuntu, it would not be affected by a Windows virus. Here's a way you can scan Windows for viruses from Ubuntu:
Mount your Windows partition

sudo apt-get install clamav
sudo mkdir /tmp/virus
clamscan -ri --move=/tmp/virus /media/disk

Most of the *blank* sites contain malware that MSIE downloads and installs in the background, another good reason not to visit those.

The best hands down

I agree with Wiebelhaus
Go for BitDefender
