Hi guys,
I'm running Ubuntu 12.10, kernel version 3.5.0.21-generic, 64-bit, US English.
According to the KnowledgeBase articles on SAV for Linux, Ubuntu is a supported distribution; however the kernel of my OS is unsupported. But not to worry, I managed to install SAV for Linux version 1.0.14-13 successfully on the abovementioned OS with the help of friends on this forum.
I encounter a problem trying to scan a file located in my home directory. I am a practised Microsoft Windows user and I was under the impression in Ubuntu that I could just right-click the file that I wish to scan and SAV for Linux will start scanning. To my horror I discovered there was no such option as "SAV for Linux" or "Scan for viruses" when I right-clicked the file to be scanned under Ubuntu.
Hence I brought up a terminal window and below is the output of the error message. Please note the file to be scanned is called test.iso which is located in /home/sharon/ directory.

Thank you in advance for your help.
P.S.: I did search for solutions to "sav: command not found" on Google as well as on this forum and could not find the solutions to my issue. Hence this post.
