How do I quarantine viruses found with KlamAV?

Asked by Bethanyjean

I downloaded KlamAV and did a scan, it says 38 viruses found. Wow. I started using Ubuntu because everyone said it never has virus problems!?!!! I am very new to the Ubuntu world, I am like an infant here. So I right click on the "virus" and I get this prompt.

There was a problem quarantining (file name). Check your diskspace, the permissions on your quarantine location and whether and whether a file with the same name already exists in the quarantine.

I have plenty of diskspace so it's not that. Any help would be appreciated. Is there an anti-virus program for dummies on Ubuntu?
