Hey, I just installed Ubuntu on my (normally Windows) machine so that I could work on Unix programming assignments from home. I just have a couple of quick questions:

1. What's the recommended antivirus software for Ubuntu? I use Avast under Windows for what it's worth.

2. How to you bring up the processes list?

ClamAV works well, especially if you are using the machine as a fileserver for windows clients.

I should probably add that this is just a personal computer. I installed it just so that I can use stuff from the Unix C libraries while programming. I suppose I don't need any then? Are there just not many viruses built for Unix, or does it already have good built-in security?
