[i]if you get an error about "wish" when installing TKAntiVir...install
Do you mean that TKAntiVir is just a GUI plugin for AntiVir and I have to install AntiVir first? Can you list what I have to have installed if anything to run TKAntiVir, because I tried McAfee and the I thought it was too hard to use. Thank you for any help!
Thinking back, at time of using f-prot antivirus in Windoze it was the best AV for M$.
It is, probably, still the best for linux as well http://www.f-prot.com

Hello dsschanze!
To run AntiVir you have to install it from the link above. Then you can scan your box for viruses from terminal. If this is not an option for you, TKAntiVir is a solution, it's just a GUI for AntiVir, you will have a nice window and click a "scan" button. Like antivirus software used under Windows.
To run TKAntivir you have to install first the antivirus software from here. Then you have to install maybe this one, and at least the GUI TKAntiVir from here.
If you want to try it out...it's very easy to install, you will see.
