I have windows vista basic and installed ubuntu last night through wubi so it can boot either with no h.d partition but as I am new to Linux can you get software like avast ,spy-bot,malware-bytes for ubunto I asked a question on yahoo answers but the avast linux version will not load ??


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
type the program name to see

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.
