There are no viruses for Linux. At least not yet so you won't need an anti-virus software for Linux. There are worms though. The only way to protect yourself agains these is to keep your networking sofware packages up to date with the latest patches or versions and minimize your system( shut down unecessary networking services like for example telnet, Bind dns, dhcp, nfs, Sendmail............ ). For intrusion detection. You can use Snort, Portsentry and Tripwire. The best way to protect yourself is to make good use of the tools already available on a Linux system. Syslog, Tcpwrappers - inetd/xinetd, Secure Shell(ssh). >Message: 9 >Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2001 14:08:26 +0800 >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >From: "Jimmy C.
