From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

l have installed ClamTK, but just because my bank has explicitly written in its terms of use that "an antivirus program has to be installed on the PC used for online banking."
So I installed one to comply. But that's it...
Just discovered that ClamTK is no longer maintained...
So I am also interested in alternatives to still be able to appease my bank.
ClamAV is the one maintained these days.
Thanks! Seems that ClamTK has just been a GUI-Wrapper around ClamAV anyway...
And as I am only interested in installing, and not actually using, CLI-only is also fine!
How would they know?
lf something went actually wrong they might ask to perhaps blame it on me.
And I would be able to answer "yes" without lying.
