Well, I think antivirus programms for linux do not exist, but I'm not very sure. As in all operating systems there are some security issues but ubuntu is pretty secure! One thing that you could do to protect your computer is to have all it's programms updated.



Hope this helps!

You don't need an antivirus in Linux, just don't run your pc as root - in Ubuntu it's even secure, root is accesible only thru a password protected command.



But, if you are really paranoid about your security you can install Linux antivirus like http://www.avast.com/eng/avast-for-linux... download the .deb and double click it as root.
you don't need a anti virus program or a firewall, because Linux is very secure
