I can't run a file.

[Garry Trethewey]

I've just used synaptic to install clam anti-virus on ubuntu 6.06.1 
dapper. Seems to have done what it's supposed to, but it didn't put clam 
in the menu, and I can't find it to run it.

I did
cd /
ls -lR |grep clam
and got lots of instances of clam throughout the file system, but not 
the directory they're in. None of them jump out and tell me they're the 
executable file.

top
doesn't show it running.

If it was WinXP I'd find the xxxx.exe, make a shortcut, stick that in 
the menu, and Bob would be my uncle.

In linux, how will I find the executable file, how will I recognize it 
as such?

Similar sorts of questions for clam-daemon, freshclam, clamav-docs etc.

As a side question, there seems to be a "common wisdom" that linux never 
gets virii anyway, is it reasonable not to bother with an anti-virus?
