But if you're adamant about it, the easiest way is to go to
Applications --> Add/Remove --> Switch the tab next to "Show" to "Show All
Available Applications" --> Search "Virus"
And look for a suitable anti virus. The one called "Virus Scanner" seems to
be a popular choice.
Just for future reference, you can find almost any free software this way.
So much easier than searching online for it! "
