How do I install Wine and Sophos Antivirus?

Post by Jealac »

I’m using the 64-bit version of XFCE Manjaro. I was wondering how do you install Wine and Sophos Antivirus? I’ve seen both programs work flawlessly on Manjaro in YouTube videos. I cannot find either software in the AUR directory. Can you please leave a step by step guide on how to install these two pieces of software because I’m not the greatest when it comes to Linux. Please don’t say you don’t need “antivirus” for Linux. I want it so I can scan my Windows directory and plus Sophos also detects Linux malware. I would rather be safe than sorry. I have a lot of important stuff on my computer that I don’t want to risk losing. Below are the links to the software.

You're probably thinking of the native Linux anti-virus product that Sophos offer ...

Obviously that has nothing much to do with Wine...
In fact I certainly doubt any native Windows A/V products would work properly, under Wine.
