Install Klamav from adept; this is a GUI front end for Clamav. Affter it is installed it will show up as a K menu item under System.

sudo clamscan -r /location_of_files_or_folders

To scan your home directory using cl do:
sudo clamscan -r /home

Thanks ,i installed klamav works fine scanning.
I now have klamav prompting me to ugrade to v.38

I did the upgrade but it did not install.So i dowload directly from the site.

When i tried to install i get a error message ....c compiler not in path

Re: clamav scan

You probably need to install the basic compilers
sudo apt-get install build-essential
and perhaps also the .rpm to .deb converter (Alien)
sudo apt-get install alien

Re: clamav scan

To search for an application do:
sudo apt-cache search "name of something"
If you search "compiler" you will get an extensiv list
sudo apt-cache search compiler
You could use aptitude to install, using aptitude will resolve dependencies as well.

sudo aptitude install gcc-4.0-base
