Use clamav and just scan files as you get them. It might not automatically integrate like you want it, but it's the best solution for Linux. I applaud the OP for caring about people on down the line, though the OOo forum isn't the best place for this. Get on the clamav list and or the AVG list (though if their product doesn't install properly, I would recommend against using it), I'm sure there are ways to integrate it so that clamav scans and cleans documents as you open them. -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
