So how would someone who's still a greenhorn to Linux protect their machine?...I refuse to install anything that's going to "charge" me for their product....(call it a glitch in my mental processes, but if I'm going to use "Free Open Source Software" then it should be "free"...no?) I cannot get a handle on ClamAV, it's too complicated for me, but I haven't seen anything that's available for Linux....any 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.
