I only want to scan my emails with clamav but don't know how to make clamv scan them beforre I open them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The sudo-apt and following commands don't work with the update manager because I think there is something wrong with the basic installation of the package - it does not show what updates there are - so I can't choose and also I don't think it links to the data correctly to download them anyway. I know there's something wrong - I have tried reinstalling it with synaptic and it is just the same. I don't get offered the chance to upgrade to to the next distribution either so I am just stuck with 8.04. Theres no disc drive in my laptop-but I am convinced there is something wrong with the software that Dell has preinstalled anyway if I were to try and reinstall it with an optical drive.</DIV>
<DIV>It doesn't really matter because I can use the internet on my other laptop which I assume is safer -but its just irritating. Other than that I like it-its quite simple,.<BR>Thanks anyway -don't worry if you haven't got the inclination to try and help more - I'll pester Launchpad see if anyone is bored there!</DIV>

updating the same 91 updates all by itself!<BR><BR>Not really without seeing what's happening. If you use apt-get on the<BR>command line there are 2 steps to go through. The first gets the latest<BR>list of software packages available and the next installs any updates<BR>for what you already have installed.<BR><BR>Linux separates users for security, you have normal users like you or I<BR>who have restricted access to the system for safety and you have the<BR>root user, who is all powerful and can do anything to the system. As<BR>normal users don't have full access to do anything they choose on a<BR>system, you can temporarily run a command as root by starting it with<BR>the sudo command, so the 2 commands I was talking about are:<BR><BR>sudo apt-get update<BR>sudo apt-get upgrade<BR><BR>As I said, the first one refreshes the list of available software and<BR>the second installs any newer versions of what you already have installed.<BR><BR>Try those 2
commands in a terminal and if it doesn't work, copy whatever<BR>it says and paste it into an email to the mailing list and we'll see if<BR>we can work out why it's not working.<BR><BR>> Also can anyone<BR>> explain how clamv actually does anything!<BR><BR>ClamAV isn't like a Windows style AV engine in so much that it isn't<BR>constantly running in the background and therefore it doesn't do the<BR>on-access style scanning of files as you open them which is probably why<BR>it isn't working the way you think it should. ClamAV is normally either<BR>run manually to scan a particular file or directory, or it is glued into<BR>a mail server application to scan emails for viruses.<BR><BR>To scan a file manually, try the following:<BR><BR>clamscan filename<BR><BR>of course swap the word 'filename' with the name of the file to scan.<BR>Alternatively, to scan a directory try the following:<BR><BR>clamscan -r ~<BR><BR>The ~ symbol means your user's home
directory. Every user has their own<BR>home directory and it is similar to My Documents under Windows. If your<BR>username is jenette, your home directory would be /home/jenette but the<BR>~ is like a shortcut that means the same thing. You could just as easily<BR>typed:<BR><BR>clamscan -r /home/jenette<BR><BR>or for some other directory:<BR><BR>clamscan -r directoryname<BR><BR>The -r means to do it recursively, which means scan every file in every<BR>directory which is underneath the directory you specified. In this case<BR>you told it to scan everything underneath your /home/jenette.<BR><BR>Does that make sense? If not, just ask.<BR><BR>In any case, there isn't any real need to run an AV scanner under Linux<BR>unless you are using it to protect Windows users. There aren't really<BR>any real Linux viruses in the same way that there are for Windows.<BR>That's not to say that Linux is bullet proof, but there just aren't the<BR>same threats to Linux as
there are for Windows and Windows viruses don't<BR>work under Linux. If you wanted to scan files under Linux before you<BR>open them under Windows, just to be safe, then that makes sense, or as I<BR>said before, if you were running a mail server or a file server for<BR>Windows users then that would make sense too, but for your average Linux<BR>desktop system, there's really no need. Admittedly that might not always<BR>be the case but it is at the moment.<BR><BR>You don't need to defragment your hard disk under Linux either.<BR>Anti-virus and disk defragging are pretty common things that Windows<BR>users have to think about that Linux users don't.<BR><BR>Linux can seem pretty complicated and confusing at the beginning, but<BR>only because you are used to something different. However, Linux is far<BR>better at telling you what went wrong than Windows as pretty much<BR>everything is logged under the /var/log/ directory.<BR><BR>In any case, you're in quite
a unique position compared to those of us<BR>who have been around a while, you get to start at the beginning and see<BR>all the things that should be easy or obvious, which we are used to<BR>ignoring or working around without thinking about it. It would be<BR>interesting to hear what you find difficult.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Adam Sweet<BR><BR>- --<BR><BR><A href="http://blog.adamsweet.org/" target=_blank>http://blog.adamsweet.org/</A><BR><BR>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----<BR>Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux)<BR>Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - <A href="http://enigmail.mozdev.org/" target=_blank>http://enigmail.mozdev.org</A><BR><BR>iEYEARECAAYFAkpRN5UACgkQRi1ZcmvD37fWxACgpuWipu7wc6ssFxELzRZ2Fcsh<BR>hwkAn16lj8I1GFaHm241jmCFDtdJLX3K<BR>=Wbpl<BR>-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----<BR><BR><BR><BR>------------------------------<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Wolves mailing list<BR><A
