I am looking for an AntiVirus for Ubuntu, and have researched potential products. I do not want a paid product, but i do want a user friendly interface.



I do not want rants about how unnecessary it is on Ubuntu.



My considerations are:





My concerns are:




  1. Ease of Scan

  2. Ease of Update

  3. Ease of Schedule

  4. Detection Rates



Which, if any, come with good GUIs?



Note: I am willing to do complicated setup, so long as my great aunt can use it.

avast! Linux Home Edition ofc! Simple the best interface and virus detection available for a home user.



But, I have to agree on the comments, if you are not running a server an AV is a bit overkill for linux. On servers were files are hosted for users, using different operative systems, etc and AV can detect and eliminate virus for the user, for home linux installations? Not really something you need a lot.



Don't forget that most these AV for home users are not licensed for server use or even organizations so be careful with that.
