Best way to install Clamtk?

[trinidad]

I use clamav live sometimes, or usually KIS live to scan Windows boxes that come in here for repair depending on what flavor of customer paranoia I have to deal with, but beyond that I don't really see an everyday ordinary Linux user purpose for AV in general. Real concerns with security in Linux begin with change logs and checksums, something that clamav has nothing to do with and wouldn't know the difference anyway. On the other hand an everyday ordinary Windows user would be nuts to run without AV. The installed base system software on your Linux computer cannot be easily changed without your permission, (strong passwords, repo keys etc.) and cannot be changed at all without you noticing if you know how and where to look. Setting up sum logs and running a pre-load system vetting inventory is a reasonable idea (which is already partly done during boot and fsck) but clamav is a waste of time with Ubuntu Linux considering any increased security benefit you expect to derive from it. There's not really even a piece of mind benefit, as it's more like a nuisance fetish once you start. AV is not a Linux security solution. It's a Windows patch. Stable distributions like Debian get harder and harder to hack everyday, while MS in general exposes thousands of vulnerabilities every time they change something. It is an actual fact that their own developers are often unaware of the code artifacts in their own patchwork quilt of a system.
