I noticed when downloading the windows demo version of this antivirus software,it was 12.1 meg but the linux version was only 2.9 megs. I installed RAV on my windows partition but am not sure if I need the linux version on my linux computers.

Now, returning from a non-networked-one-week-a-time job I browsed my *usual suspects* and learned that Micro$oft had purchased RAV, a Romanian Antivirus Company. Accordingly, M$ would discontinue the antivirus capabilities for Linux. Although vira aren't relevant for Linux-users, it seems that RAV made a business out of providing numerous mailservers with a virus-filtering tool. In fact : probably the best antivirus toolkit ever. Considering that about 30-40 % of all mailservers runs Linux and can be presumed to filter out vira nearly 100 %, the shutdown of these capabilities would increase the virus-load to about 60-70 % on those unhappy Windows users. In short : Is Windows a virus ?
