Free top 10 antivirus programs software for linux

Panda Antivirus for Linux is an antivirus for Linux servers and desktops. The project is an antivirus designed to be managed from the command line or console. To do this, an executable called PAVCL will be used.

The aim of Panda Antivirus for Linux is to scan and disinfect Windows and DOS workstations connected to a Linux server, as well as the Linux server itself.

Panda Antivirus for Linux scans files using both string searches and heuristic methods. The target files of the antivirus are Word documents, Java Applets, ActiveX controls and compressed files (ZIP, RAR, etc.).

At the moment, it does not scan the boot sector or the partitions table.

Panda Antivirus for Linux is a freeware version: Panda Software does not offer technical support for this software.

Antivirus Scan with F-Prot is a simple servicemenu for konqueror that allows to scan single or multiple files and folders using the F-Prot Antivirus. Antivirus Scan with F-Prot shows the result of the scanning in a textbox using kdialog. It can also show the progress of the scanning in a terminal.
I hope you may find it useful.
Comments or/and translations are welcome.
TO INSTALL: extract the content of the tarball and copy the file f-prot_virus_scan.desktop into ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus (just for your user) or in /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus, /opt/kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus... etc, depending on your distro, to make it system-wide.
This is only the service-menu, you need to have F-Prot antivirus installed on your system.
Enhancements:
- Added Danish translation by Kefeus

F-Prot Antivirus security software package has various components that help keep your system secure from viruses, backdoors, trojans and other malicious programs. The project includes the RealTime Protector, a memory-resident monitoring utility that observes all files accessed on your system, a Scheduler where you can set the Scanner to make automatic scans or updates on your system at any time and an Updater to manage all signature updates.
For home users using the Linux open-source operating system, we offer F-Prot Antivirus for Linux Workstations. F-Prot Antivirus for Linux Workstations utilizes the renowned F-Prot Antivirus scanning engine for primary scan but has in addition to that a system of internal heuristics devised to search for unknown viruses
F-Prot Antivirus for Linux was especially developed to effectively eradicate viruses threatening workstations running Linux. It provides full protection against macro viruses and other forms of malicious software - including Trojans.
Main features:
- Scans for over 191534 known viruses and their variants
- Ability to perform scheduled scans when used with the cron utility
- Scans hard drives, CD-ROMS, diskettes, network drives, directories and specific files
- Scans for images of boot sector viruses, macro viruses and Trojan Horses
F-Prot Antivirus for Linux Workstations is FREE for use by personal users on personal workstations

Solving Constraint Integer Programs is a framework for constraint integer programming. For solving Integer Programs and Constraint Programs, a very similar technique is used: the problem is successively divided into smaller subproblems (branching) that are solved recursively.
On the other hand, Integer Programming and Constraint Programming have different strengths: Integer Programming uses LP relaxations and cutting planes to provide strong dual bounds, while Constraint Programming can handle arbitrary (non-linear) constraints and uses propagation to tighten the variables domains.
SCIP is a framework for Constraint Integer Programming oriented towards the needs of Mathematical Programming experts who want to have total control of the solution process and access detailed information down to the guts of the solver. SCIP can also be used as pure MIP solver or as framework for branch-cut-and-price.
Main features:
- It is a framework for branching, cutting, pricing, and propagation.
- It is highly flexible through many possible user plugins:
- constraint handlers to implement arbitrary constraints,
- variable pricers to dynamically create problem variables,
- domain propagators to apply constraint independent propagations on the variables domains,
- cut separators to apply cutting planes on the LP relaxation,
- relaxators to provide relaxations and dual bounds in addition to the LP relaxation,
- primal heuristics to search for feasible solutions with specific support for probing and diving,
- node selectors to guide the search,
- branching rules to split the problem into subproblems,
- presolvers to simplify the solved problem,
- file readers to parse different input file formats,
- event handlers to be informed on specific events, e.g., when a node was solved, a specific variable changed its bounds, or a new primal solution was found,
- display handlers to create additional columns in the solvers output.
- dialog handlers to extend the included command shell.
- Every existing unit is implemented as a plugin, leading to an interface flexible enough to meet the needs of most additional user extensions.
- A dynamic cut pool management is included.
- The user may mix preprocessed and active problem variables in expressions: they are automatically transformed to corresponding active problem variables.
- Arbitrarily many children per node can be created, and the different children can be arbitrarily defined.
- It has an open LP solver support (currently supporting ILOG CPLEX, Dash XPress-MP, SoPlex, and CLP.
- The LP relaxation need not to be solved at every single node (it can even be turned off completely, mimicing a pure constraint solver).
- Additional relaxations (e.g., semidefinite relaxations or Lagrangian relaxations) can be included, working in parallel or interleaved.
- Conflict analysis can be applied to learn from infeasible subproblems.
- Dynamic memory management reduces the number of operation system calls with automatic memory leakage detection in debug mode.
Enhancements:
- The new heuristics "RENS", "mutation", "veclendiving", and "intshifting", were included.
- The existing ones were improved.
- Presolving and c-MIR cut generation were improved.
- A few bugs were fixed.

Aurora-Glass 0.1 provides you with another nice Aurora-based theme for GNOME users. It is actually a GTK theme that requires the Aurora engine and the patched pixbuf engine.

Enhancements:

• Added transparent glass scrollbars

Requirements:

• Aurora Gtk Engine
• Patched pixbuf engine

Visual F-Prot is an F-Prot Antivirus for Linux Workstations graphical interface.

Visual F-Prot is graphical interface for F-Prot Antivirus(TM) for Linux Workstations for home use (available for free download) copyrighted by Frisk Software International (www.firsk.is). Before you install this program, you must install F-Prot Antivirus, because it wont work without it.

It works with F-Prot antivirus version 4.5.3 and above - its not tested with earlier versions,but it should also work with them.

Also, youll need "xterm" terminal emulator, provided by most, if not all linux distributions.

This program is built with GTKMM 2.4 C++ libraries, so youll also need those for it to work.
