Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, ClamTK is a GTK graphical user interface for ClamAV, an antivirus program for Linux. Antiviruses are used on Linux systems to find and remove viruses that may eat Windows systems. The latest version available is ClamTK 5.06, which has been recently released. For a list of improvements brought by the latest version of ClamTK, see the changelog.
In this article I will show you how to install ClamTK 5.06 on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pinguy OS, Elementary OS, Debian, KWheezy and Crunchbang.
