I've used three anti-virus programmes for Linux (and stayed with clamav): clamav http://www.clamav.net/ bitdefender http://www.bitdefender.com/PRODUCT-63-en--BitDefender-Linux-Edition.html f-prot http://www.f-prot.com/products/home_use/linux/ There is a list of anti-virus software for Linux operating systems (some are available for other OSs as well) here: http://www.uniwebserve.com/antivirus.htm It includes 4 Free Online Virus Scans.

Just a question for you Linux and Mac guys (I am going to install some kind of Linux as soon as possible, that's one of the reasons I ask): Do you really need Antivirus for MacOS and Linux? I have Windows 98 and I am not even sure that I need Antivirus for that. So far it (AVG) found almost nothing on my PC (AVG updates automatically almost every day). The few times it found something, I found it before AVG did (like in email attachments etc). I just don't open files if I'm not 100% sure about what it is. But still I run AVG "just in case", but honestly, my PC is so slow, so I would appreciate running as little as possible in the background. Regards Johnny
