DrWeb is a commercial application to search for Windows viruses on a Linux mailserver. Mandrake Soft include an RPM package for Drweb on the Commercial CD of the Mandrake Powerpack boxed set. If you have a Powerpack you will find the rpm package on disc 4. Just click on the rpm package with konqueror and it will install. Also on the CDs are drweb mail filter packages for the various mail servers, Sendmail,Postfix, Courier etc. You should install the appropriate mail filter package for the mail server you are running. If you do not have a Powerpack then the drweb packages can be downloaded from MandrakeClub if you are a member or directly from the DrWeb download site at http://download.drweb.com/unix/Mandrake+Linux+10/ clicking on the rpm packages with konqueror will install them. However you get the packages drweb will not work until you have purchased a key from them. As for your other questions. Mandrake Expert allows you to ask 'paid for' questions, or 'no charge' community questions where you may (or may not) get an answer from any member of the Mandrake Community. In any case you are not likely to get an answer from Mandrake Expert about DrWeb since it is not a Mandrake product and not part of the official distro. MandrakeOnline is an entirely separate service to provide you with warning of available security updates. Once you have Dr Web installed I doubt if you will see an icon or menu entry because it is a 'daemon' that runs in background in conjunction with a mail server. I expect if you open MandrakeControlCentre>System>Services you would see a button to start the DrWeb service. I assume you know that there are effectively no Linux viruses, so the only point of using a virus scanner on Linux is to protect Windows users who fetch their mail from a Linux mailserver. There are other virus scanners available for Linux mailservers such as ClamAV which are open source and totally free. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
