Should be :
tar -xzvf /home/absolute-zero/aegis-virus-scanner-2.0.0.tar.gz

well you really dont need antivirus, but I suggest clam and klam its graphical frontend.
both are in the repositories.

Why do you need antivirus? Are you using Ubuntu as a mail server or file server?

[Absolute-Zero]

Cool. Thanks for clarifying.

Of course it's possible, though .tar.gz files usually require compiling from source Not all the time though

[Absolute-Zero]

Its impossible is in it ?

I have ubuntu book the official one and it says very easy to compile something from source and they give few steps how to do it, (however they forgot to mention that you gotta be super computer hacker or programmer)

I remember installing VMWare tools on a guest install of ubuntu a while ago, and that wasn't too hard. I'm sure if you google a bit you'll find a ton of pages with bash commands that will tell you exactly what to do.

This should be a good start.

[Joeb454]

The only difficult part about compiling is getting the dependencies - if it returns an error

missing dependency: libpng-2.0

or something like that (I can't remember the exact errors, you would try

sudo apt-get install libpng-2.0-dev

Always -dev packages, if you are compiling from source
