Today, I have installed AVG Anti-virus on my laptop running Ubuntu. People know that Linux system is invulnerable to any viruses, trojans and malware . So, why do I need anti-virus software? That’s a good question to ask.
For people like me who is running dual booting Ubuntu with Windows Vista, this software can be very handy to scan and delete the viruses. If you are running Linux on a server, you need to worry about Windows clients that connect to it. For an ordinary Linux Home user with only one OS system there is no need for anti-virus software.
Out there, many companies produced anti-virus software for Linux system such as AVG Technologies, McAfee, Trendmicro, Panda Software and Sophos. Since Avg Anti-virus software has served me really well when I am using Vista, so I decided to go with Avg Anti-Virus. Also, it is free and very easy to install on my Ubuntu system. AVG Anti-Virus available for Debian, RedHat, Suse and Mandriva based distribution. Here, I will write how to install Avg Anti-virus on Ubuntu system.
