The simplest way to compile this package is(hyertype):

  1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
     `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
     using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
     `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
     `configure' itself.

     Running `configure' takes a while. While running, it prints some
     messages telling which features it is checking for.

  2. Type `make' to compile the package.

  3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
     documentation.

  4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
     source code directory by typing `make clean'.

And you need no anti viruses as such ...but if u really need on there are few as of i know there is something called 'calm' ...so be clam do worry u ll get used to installing files very soon :)
