Yes, but files accessible from a windows box, but stored on a linux box can become carriers. If they aren't cleaned, they could infect the next (or the same) windows bow that asks for them. In any case, having anti-virus is better than not as long as it doesn't get in your way or hog the CPU. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
