Suggested Antivirus for Ubuntu 14.04 server?

Question

I have Ubuntu 14.04 server installed in my office. We're treating it as a local server. I have downloaded all our stuff from our dedicated hosting server (as server have viruses) to my local Ubuntu server.

So, as all the files are infected do i use any antivirus to clean all the files ??

Means how can i get rid of the viruses ?? If yes please suggest me some free antivirus for the same..

Thanks

A widely-used package, especially in combination with mail services, is clamav. It is fairly easy to install, and you will find tutorials quickly. As a quick start:

sudo apt-get install clamav
sudo freshclam
clamscan -r <insert repository you want to scan here>
