BitDefender, ClamAV, and AVG are the only AV packages I have experience with for Lin, and all are reasonably decent, but bit defender wants about 100$ US a year out of you for 1-5 users. AVG free has 32 bit RPMs, debs, and tarballs that are built with reasonable frequency. If cost is a consideration i'd probably stick with clam or AVG.
Hi Jason, Since this PCI stuff is really more of a paper chase, what really ratters is the "appearance" that you are trying to improve things. (I will have decent AV's running on the Windows clients.) Think of a lawyer for the credit card provider point at you in court yelling "See, he didn't have and anti virus installed. He is liable! We are not!" PCI is suppose to be about security, wink, wink. It is really about making the merchant liable for fraud. So, after that soap box, what I am really looking for in an AV is in order or priority: 1) the AV causes the least amount of havoc on the operation of the computer. And, 2) if it worked somewhat, that would be an added bonus (for those of who actually take security seriously) I would avoid Kaspersky. Made a mess and was the devil to remove. But that was about two years ago that I last tried it. -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
