I have heard that Linux computer viruses exist, but I have never had to
deal with any, I also do not know of anyone who has had the problem.
(I have never even read reports of a virus infecting Linux)
I use the root account for everything, so I had avast! for Linux for
awhile. (recently got rid of it when cleaning up)
Has anyone ever here ever had any problems with Viruses in Linux, or had
any removed by any of the various anti virus utilities for Linux?
It really doesn't seem like anything to worry about, but some "experts"
try to push anti virus utilities on Linux. (it seems they just want
people to use their product)
Thoughts?
