I'm new to Slitaz and I'm having a problem finding packages that I've installed via "package manager".
I installed clamav & iptables but I can't access either of them.
I'm sure it is something simple. Any help would be very much appreciated! Thanks.

As root type 'iptables -L' from a terminal to get a current listing of iptable rules. If you want to modify the existing rules you would need to edit /etc/firewall.conf file. I do not use clamav hence cannot help you on that but I am sure there must be a way to configure setting using command line (if gui is not available).

I assume clamav is similar. You're supposed to run them from the terminal. Distros like Ubuntu would add a nice front-end (I think Clam's one is Clamtk) to simplify matters. SliTaz isn't that forgiving :P

In a terminal, type "clam" and hit the [TAB] key. That should list all available commands starting with clam. You can try running the various options listed (also with --help option). One of them (from what I vaguely remember) is the primary executable to check files/folders/volumes/etc.

Erm... You don't need an Anti-Virus. Linux only has about 100 known viruses, of which 40 is active (most of which just infects Wine or Samba) and only a handful that can be dangerous if you give it root access. In short, Viruses are possible, but VERY unlikely. I've been using Linux on my PC for 5 years now and I browse even sites google warns me against. I haven't caught a virus yet (I've checked with ClamAV every so often). Most viruses are made for Windows anyway :P
There is also no such thing as adware or spyware for Linux. ClamAV is more to scan Windows partitions for Windows based viruses and clean them when found.

Hi, I found this thread on iptables to be very helpful, you might want to take a look if you need a very simple and highly secure firewall: http://vanilla.slitaz.org/discussion/1926/cooking-firewall/0/100/ which is very easy to set up, just by removing a few lines from the original script.
I have a question, where did you find the iptables package? I'm looking for the one for Slitaz 3.0 stable, and it does not seem to be available for download right now...
