We come back to operational issues, unfortunately some level of
understanding of what's happening is needed (and that only comes with
research or experience) or you're going to run into problems. Any
drivers have to be exactly the right version if a binary, or have to be
compiled at install time.
A virus on a Linux system? please detail for an enquiring mind? this
would be the first instance I've ever heard of first-hand. Malware is
not completety unheard of, but it's very unusual and should be easily
removed without resorting to AV.
