This is a common question for new linux users. Driven by the obvious demand of an antivirus program on Windows, they try to install one on Linux, in most cases their Window version.

The fact is, a normal end user does not need to run an anti virus tool on Ubuntu Linux. There are no known Linux viruses around 'in the wild'.

Some companies are offering Linux versions of their tools, bur these are intended to servers that host Windows files.
