Download and install AVG
After installed Ubuntu, I would highly recommend to proceed with patches update and install the antivirus. The chances of Ubuntu affected by virus are rare. However, if you are connected within the network, it is recommended to have one. At this moment, I am using AVG 7.5.51 antivirus to protect my file from viruses.
You can download the free AVG from here (.deb). Once downloaded, right click and select Open with “GDebi Package Installer”. Follow the instructions carefully.
