Almost everyone has Linux AV now.   There is an OSS AV solution, Open Anti-virus, but from what I can see, it looks like it's been abandoned.   Kev.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Wendell Nichols To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 12, 2003 11:36 AM Subject: Re: (clug-talk) Linux Virus Protection I just bought an Asus two way P4 server board.  It came with Trend virus protection.  Damned if there wasn't a linux version on the CD!  I'm sure you can buy it from them for a reasonable price, though I haven't checked. wcn Cameron Nikitiuk wrote: Well...there have been a few security issues and viruses designed around the *nix platform.  True nough that Linux is a secure stable OS, but like anything that is connected to the net, it is ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry.  Ask yourself this...would you want to be a major enterprise level corporation that scimps on a few dollars becuase Linux by itself is good enough?   My $.02 worth! -----Original Message----- From: Clint Landry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: January 12, 2003 8:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: (clug-talk) Linux Virus Protection From what I have read, there seems to be a split on the decision to use antivirus software in Linux, some think that the system is so good that there is no need for it, and others think that safe is better than sorry. Any thoughts?   Clint   -----Original Message----- From: Clint Landry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 12, 2003 8:19 AM To: Clug-Talk Subject: (clug-talk) Linux Virus Protection   Hi everyone, I was just doing a bit of research on virus protection and Linux, does anyone know of a free virus protection program that will work nicely with RH8 ? I have a laptop that will see plenty of mail and internet usage, and would like it to be safe from virus attacks.   Clint --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
