Not very. There are very few viruses or worms that are out there (That
work) for UNIX-based systems. It's reported that there has never been
a successful virus written for Mac OS X.

What are you looking for? Something runs under Linux to scan your

Antivirus software is only really necessary for Linux servers which are used
for sharing MS documents (e.g. Word files) which can be infected. For normal
works
If anyone needs extra confirmation that virii are possible under Linux,
you might want to pay attention to a thread going on this week over on
the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail list. Someone has written a Virus HOWTO
for Linux, and the maillist is discussing whether they should publish
it.

As long as you don't run everything as root, or change the ownership of all
your files to a common user, you should be safe. Linux is not vulnerable like
Windows due to a bit of common sense during the design stage. Note that
Macintosh systems are not as vulnerable as Windows either. T
This just proves the point I made earlier. If you look below you shall
notice I said:
You may see virus scanners available for GNU/Linux -- these are
made to detect Windows viruses (which can't harm GNU/Linux at
all). This can be useful if you have multiple OSs installed
Actually, that isn't the case. Mcafee does in fact make a version of its
virus scanning software for linux--there are others that are listed at

There are no anti-virus programmes for GNU/Linux -- the main reason
for this being the lack of virii for this OS. UNIX/Linux virii usually
exploit security holes in software. In every case security fixes had
been available long before the attacks. In other words, the few who
