This tutorial shows how you can install and use F-PROT Antivirus on an Ubuntu Feisty Fawn desktop. Although there aren't many Linux viruses out there, this can be useful if you often exchange files with Windows users - it can help you to not pass on any Windows viruses (that don't do any harm to Linux systems) to Windows users. F-PROT Antivirus for Linux is free for home use. This was the first time I have heard of F-PROT Antivirus. Personal I don't use any virus scanners on my Linux machines, but I happy to see that they are out there. Do you use any antivirus software on your Linux box?
