Just to get Actually, antiviruses on Linux are pretty good for protecting vulnerable computers. For example, one of the popular uses of Linux is as a mail server. Why not scan for viruses going around, blocking both ways? You minimize the risk of internal infection, and you try to contain the thing if someone inside does get infected. If you're going to set up a mail-scanning server, however, do be careful about mailing lists. =) -- Sacha Chua <sacha@free.net.ph> - 4 BS CS Ateneo geekette interests: emacs, gnu/linux, wearables, teaching compsci
