I miss the residentual stuff that made sure the documents that come

I'm not sure I understand what's the use of an antivirus for any
program in
Linux.
hmm - thought he explained his reasoning rather well actually.
If AVG integrates with OO in some way and is going to solve your
problem,
then you should ask for support on AVG forums [0]
Hello David,
I too, at first blush thought of Kracked's query: OT
Then I decided ah what the heck I'd just mention top
posting and make it relavent to this list again...*evilgrin*
Anyway - I do know this. ClamAV is what is used to check files
at the extension and template repositories for OpenOffice.org
so I assume that means it can read ODF files.
Just now since I am using Ubuntu 9.1 I went ahead and installed
ClamAV with synaptic pkg mgr then since I run T'bird from
the ubuntu repos I looked for an addon and found only one,
oldish and beta.
Installed it...tested and...
(With my right hand stretched out the index finger,
same with thumb,
curled the other three fingers to my palm,
while rising my feet, briskly placed my hand
on my forehead and said #FAIL...
If I get it working I'll drop you a direct email, if you like.
Otherwise - as David said you will most likely get better
help on the email questions either at the t'bird lists
or at http://www.clamav.net/
Best wishes,
Drew
ClamAV? I found KlamAV. Will look into it.
The trouble is the "K" is that is only does very limited manual checking
and no
auto for anything but the two listed. No T'bird which i have been using
for years.
I want to make sure all the documents that come through me will be
clean, even if it will not
hurt my system. My Vista laptop - not semi-retired instead of primary
machine - had
a lot of security running to make sure the nasties never enter my system
and get out to those
who rely on my support for OOo and other things. Most would never try a
board to save their lives.
