I can't tell, so I'm going to assume you are serious. It's this kind of attitude that will *make* Linux a bigger target... I run critical production servers and of course they run AV. Am I worried about current Linux viruses? No. - I'm worried about Windows viruses being transmitted through those Linux machines to Windows users. - I'm worried that future Linux viruses will be better and hope that AV vendors will react. But thinking "I run Linux, I don't care about viruses" is a complacent and dangerous attitude that needs to be stopped. By the time a Linux virus is out in the wild and working, it is too late to be thinking about retrofitting AV to your machines. -- Sam -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
