HOWTO: Install F-Prot with GTK frontend (anti-virus)

[Perfect Storm]

The most cut'n'paste is part of compiling XF-prot because there's no .deb package for it (ubuntu is based on debian).

A quick easy explaination:

sudo apt-get update <=== updates the sourcelist
sudo apt-get upgrade <=== upgrades/updates if there are new packages availble for already installed packages.
sudo apt-get install build-essential <=== Installs applications and libs which is important for compiling stuff.
sudo apt-get install libwww-perl <=== Installs libwww-perl which xf-prot needs to work.
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev <=== Installs libgtk2.0-dev which xf-prot needs to compile (gui interface).
sudo apt-get install checkinstall <=== an application that allow you to make it easy to install/uninstall[/code]


cd /where/you/saved/the/files/ <=== move to the right directory via terminal
sudo dpkg -i fp-linux-ws.deb <=== installs fp-linux-ws.deb package


cd /where/you/saved/the/files/ <=== move to the right directory via terminal
tar zxvf xfprot-1.15.tar.gz <=== extracting xf-prot (the source)
cd xfprot-1.15 <=== move you to the directory xfprot-1.15
./configure --with-gtk2 --with-sudo --autodetect --without-debug --with-install-dir=/usr <=== checking if all the libs its needed, what kind of system you have etc. etc. plus telling what it should add or not add from the default.
make <=== puts the application together
sudo checkinstall <=== make a .deb package
sudo dpkg -i xfprot-1.15_1.15-1_i386.deb <=== install the .deb package

AI,
thank you very much.


I ran a ful scan right after install, it detected 4 "infected" files...
...test infection, I guess.

I am not on linux right now, I dont remember the names...

[Perfect Storm]

Eicar is the name of the test file.

Bye.


This is my error and I have no clue why it is acting a fool ... I am using Dapper ...

[Perfect Storm]

This haven't been tested on Dapper yet. Since Dapper is under heavy development many things can break from one day to another. If you're looking something stable you might go back to breezy.
