Hello

I am a newbie to Linux and would like to know if there is a Spybot S&D for Linux?
So far a lot of popular stuff for my Windows PC is not made for Linux.

Though I have herd that Linux is more secure then Windows.
And so far I love Linux but need help on how to install stuff.
As I have found AVG anti-virus that supports both Windows and Linux but have no idea how to install it?

I click on the install.sh and nothing happens?

Any ways hope you can help and sorry about the ramblings lol.

Hi there.

Hello

I am a newbie to Linux and would like to know if there is a Spybot S&D for Linux?

Please see: Running on Wine (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=3722)

The problem mentioned there (updates) has been fixed for version 1.5 which is in the works.

Immunization is a moot point as there is no IE on Wine.

Hope that helps.
