Installing new software...

I now there many " The most of the Linux-Users " gonna say, it is not needed… But.
I will install clamav on openSUSE 11.1, reason, i get mutch mails with attachement coming from Microsoft xp.
Now, clamav will not install, if i surch the internet i find some, but the same story.
I love working with openSUSE on me AMD-Athlon, the one thing who is missing is a scanner.
I think when we are with more and more Linux-Users a good virusscanner can be usefull. Its MAYBE not needed, but with an eye on the future ??? :
Please some help.

Hi,

Have you tried installing it through Yast? It’s in the repositories.

Open Yast then choose Software Management. Then search for clamav.

Take Care,

Ian

From a su terminal

zypper in clamtk

or if you are kde use

zypper in klamav

If these don’t work please post the result of

zypper lr -d

I haven’t tried it yet, but Avast! includes a scanner for Windows/Mac/Linux (so I can see about using the same application on all of my machines). And the home version of them are all free.

I like the idea of an available Linux scanner IF they are going to actually keep up-to-date with the Linux virus definitions. It’s no use if they are caught in the same “Linux doesn’t get viruses” and take a while to wake up when one does arrive.

I do agree, though, that even if you are running Linux, running an anti-virus checker for emails coming and GOING to Windows users keeps you from becoming known as “Virus Vincent”!

yep, did so… but it dont install.
But i did not search in sofware management for clamav.
Gonna try aigain tomorow.
Thanks for Your answer. :wink:
