Antivirus untuk Linux/Ubuntu

[ubuntux]

Berikut ini merupakan antivirus yang telah mendukung platform linux, yaitu:

- Avast! Linux Home Edition. More information about Avast! at wikipedia and an install guide at UbuntuGeek. Avast's product key didn't work so we contacted the company & are awaiting their response.

- AVG Antivirus. AVG is popular in Windows. Like most antivirus programs it detects infected files but doesn't remove the infections. Unusually though, it also doesn't move infected files to a quarantine folder. There is a more detailed page about Avg in Ubuntu.

- Avira Antivirus. Requires Java to use the GUI.

- BitDefender Antivirus. Limited time trial version available apparently but only after filling in a form. BitDefender checks for Windows viruses. There is a community documentation page about it here.

- Panda Antivirus. I didn't check this one but it appears to be old and no longer maintained. It used to have some unique & awesome features

- F-PROT Antivirus for Workstations (home users). Free for personal use. GUI front-ends are available, but may require some manual work. e.g. XFProt. I have not tried the GUI front-ends.

- Wiki list

Possible reasons linux is less prone to malware

* Programs are run as normal user, not Root User
* More eyeballs on the code, nowhere for malware to hide
* Vast diversity makes it difficult to reproduce flaws in a system
* All software and drivers are frequently updated by Package Managers
* Software is generally installed from vast Repositories not from unfamiliar websites
* Developers/programmers are recognised as Rock Gods rather than treated with contempt
* Elegant, secure code is admired & aspired to. Hasty kludges are an embarrassment
* Ownership of the means of production is in the hands of the workers
* No-one profits from supplying anti-virus or security products

However, there are many reasons you might want a virus scanner on your Linux PC:

Quote:to scan a Windows drive in your PC
to scan a Windows-based network attached server or hard drive
to scan Windows machines over a network
to scan files you are going to send to other people
to scan e-mail you are going to forward to other people
some Windows viruses can run with Wine.
Linux virus infections are theoretically possible.
