Re: [orca-list] antivirus\

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Thhe easiest way is indeed to use clamav from the commandline, but you can get the clamtk package which has a 
sometimes accessible gtk gui  to use with 
orca. I have used this gui with some graphical desktops with out major issues, but it did not work for me 
well on others, and I did not investigate 
enough to resolve why. 
Also, I found on some systems anyway that a lot of memory can be consuumed by running the update daemon and 
such automatically. This was not the case 
last I checked on Ubuntu, was on arch using systemd oddly. 
You can just start things manually if you find you are using precious system resources on this, and for sure 
if you are thinking of running this on your 
banana  you will probably want to just do manual updates and scans from the commandline. 
The other anti virus products I have heard of for Linux are not accessible/usable, and may not even be easy 
to install with out sighted help. Clamav and 
its campanion packages, freshclam and clamtk are the onlyy FOS anti-virus solutions I know of for Linux.
