Just tried to load flash player for linux and it stopped with errori346 architecture needed is it because the celeron e 1200 is based on a duel-core

its generally better to compile apps from source
heres how
download the program source
type these in sequence
cd <program-directory-here>
./configure
make
make install
and that should do it

In Linux you do not generally need virus scanners and anti-malware programs.
As I have not used Ubuntu for a long time, have a look in the repositories for Clamwin, that way if you are sending files to a Windows computer you can scan them before sending.
