i am trying to install clamav for fedora 11. i guess thats the correct antivirus---right? i went to the repository and thought i got it, but i can't find it.....?

then i went to the clam av site and downloaded the latest 32bit for rpm. it said there were missing files and could not procede.

where or how do i get an antivirus for fed 11? thx again......

Go to terminal, sign in as root, then execute yum install clamav. It's in the fedora-updates.repo, which should be on your Fedora 11 install, unless you didn't activate updates when you installed.

Since there are no viruses active for linux, the app is useless. If your dual booting Windows, download ClamWin and run it on that install, makes more sense.

Since it sounds like you are new to the Clam AV game I highly recommend using Klamav, which is a KDE Gui front end for Clam. It's nice for reporting, updating, etc.

The package I have installed on F11 is: klamav-0.46-2.fc11.i586, but a simple

Code:

# yum install -y klamav

should do the trick!
