So how would someone who's still a greenhorn to Linux protect their

advice?...
I don't see how ClamAV is difficult. Before you use it, you open a
terminal, become root user*, and type freshclam. Then after it
refreshes its database, you close the terminal, go to the GUI (ClamTK) and
select Scan. If you want to be thorough, then select recursive or home
recursive and let it go. Nothing simpler.
*In some distros, type su, return, and put in password, then type
freshclam. In others, you can just type sudo freshclam, and put in your
password.
