HI, not sure if Avast still do this (not checked) ClamAV is the native GNU/Linux AV (also available for Windows too). Bit Defender for Linux is free - Wolfman posted a thread about it some time ago and a few months ago I went to their site and it WAS still free then. Hope this helps.

I did give a 'tutorial' of sorts in the past - time to do one for my vimeo channel methinks! :D

And to show no hard feelings to Windows users I will do one on how to install Comodo without the garbage! :D
