Re: [Trisquel-users] Is ClamTk a good package? Should I even bother with anti-viruses?
I have never used an anti-virus on my machine. My friends put all of their infected HDDs and CDs in my machine but GNU/Linux does not even cough :)
[Trisquel-users] Is ClamTk a good package? Should I even bother with anti-viruses?
I just saw it in Add/Remove Applications' packages surfing packages.

Thanks for the response guys, great help!

Hey, I just forgot to tell you that some people say that if you use Wine(to run windows programs) ten windows viruses may affect your computer. You may install CalmTk or Debian package of BitDefender then.

Please refrain from recommending proprietary software here, thank you.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is ClamTk a good package? Should I even bother with anti-viruses?
At the last school where I worked, I was permitted to use my own Trisquel computer in my classroom as long as I could show that it had anti-virus software. Clam TK came in very handy for that (for demonstration purposes only) and I didn't need to bother with the 'we really don't worry about viruses in the GNU/Linux world' discussion. Funny in that I also had to promise that my GNU/Linux system and use would be transparent to other computer users in the school. Of course it was and the IT director mentioned it when I said farewell. She also tried to get me to use iPads, SmartBoards (truly dreadful devices) and other non-free technology in the classroom. I politely refused, stating that it violated my code of ethics and she was cool about it.

I know I'm nitpicking but K-Meleon, Libreoffice, and an old version of Clementine on Wine aren't proprietary :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is ClamTk a good package? Should I even bother with anti-viruses?
I wasn't referring to wine.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is ClamTk a good package? Should I even bother with anti-viruses?
Ah, yes, my bad!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is ClamTk a good package? Should I even bother with anti-viruses?
ClamTk = GUI for ClamAV. Keep things lite on the system, run ClamAV in the command line. I'll do this when sending files to family friends who uses Windows as a safety precaution.

Most people from the college I attend have never heard of GNU, Linux and Linux-libre, or don't know the difference between free, gratis and open. Sorry for deviating from the topic, but... I'm thinking on asking the FSF to give a speech here, but I'm not sure if people will be interested, and if those interested can understand either Spanish or English. Best regards, ADFENO.
