Panda Antivirus for Linux is an antivirus for Linux servers and desktops. It is an antivirus designed to be managed from the command line or console. To do this, an executable called PAVCL will be used.

Other antiviruse applications that support Ubuntu can be found here.

The aim of Panda Antivirus is to scan and disinfect Windows and DOS workstations connected to a Linux server, as well as the Linux server itself.

Panda Antivirus scans files using both string searches and heuristic methods. The target files are Word documents, Java Applets, ActiveX controls and compressed files (ZIP, RAR, etc.). At this time, it does not scan the boot sector or the partitions table.
