Question

kindly suggest me an anti-virus to install compatible with Ubuntu 14

Answer 1

The predominant antivirus for Linux based systems is called clamav.

You install it with

sudo apt-get install clamav

However, that does not set up a graphical interface for it, nor does it enable scheduled or on-demand scanning - you have to scan manually via the command-line.

Therefore, there are a variety of other tools you can use to extend the functionality of clamav.

For starters, you may want to try clamtk which is a graphical frontend:

sudo apt-get install clamtk
