Just following this up, does ANYONE on this list use anti-virus software on their linux systems (excluding any filtering on email gateways and the like)?

Hugo.

To Woodsey: Linux is not windoes :-/
In a PC magazine I saw, they had the shortest one in 4 minutes and the longest in 4 hours - they must of had a slower internet connection :).

Thanks David and Chris,

My paranoia is well founded but I'll take your words for it and run without virus protection. I saw an article in one of the PC magazines where they ran a batch of different Windows machines (6 I think) on the Internet without protection. From memory, longest lasting was about 2 hours, the shortest was 30 seconds, THIRTY SECONDS!!
Impressed?


Cheers - Woodsey
