Hi spyvirus1234,

                       There is AV named Clam in Linux which is inbuilt package then why you want to install windows AV in ubuntu.Next one is you can install install .exe in ubuntu with help of Wine software Package.

If you want to install like MS office better you choose Crossover package which helps you to install office & other Packages in ubuntu.Also tried it works Well.

I hope you Understood !!!

Continuing.....

Linux is never compatible with .exe only it happens with the help of Wine,Playonlinux,Crossover etc like Packages.

is playonlinux for games? am new to linux..

thanx but still i need some help

Its for general app installs, can make things easier but its just a wrapper from wine

k thanx.. how can i scan my pendrive using the in built clam AV.??

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install clamav; sudo freshclam; sudo clamscan -r /mouont/point --log=~/Desktop/Virus.txt; chown $USER:$USER ~/Desktop/Virus.txt; gedit ~/Desktop/Virus.txt

The only bit you need to change is:

/mount/point

Which you need to change to the actual mount point of the partition you want to scan. In future scans you can simply run:

sudo freshclam; sudo clamscan -r /mouont/point --log=~/Desktop/Virus.txt; chown $USER:$USER ~/Desktop/Virus.txt; gedit ~/Desktop/Virus.txt

Which updates the definitions then scans the folder with the result going to the desktop instead of /tmp, it then changes the ownership of the file to your user (in case it gets owned by root), the file then opens.
