To those who want a virus scanner on linux, here's a Free Home Edition of Avast. ( FYI am not from avast ok! :P )

here's the download page http://avast.com/eng/download-avast-for-linux-edition.html

.

I installed it then run for the first time, it has an online database update, so I did that first, then scanned my home, and viola!.... I found a virus!!!see image

so I just deleted it, I cant believe that It has a virus on my home, I have not yet scanned the systems folder, so I dont know if there are something on it, anyway, to those who really want to have an antivirus on their desktop linux, try it... its has an tgz and rpm installer, and you should have to register first to have an activation code.

I had dependency problems with their rpm :(

# avast

basename: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Apparently it requires an older glibc than I have
