Antivirus/Firewall advice

Tweaker · 05-13-2003, 05:50 PM

I have Mandrake Linux 9.1 installed as a second OS on my computer. Can anyone suggest any good anti-virus and firewall programs? I have a broadband connection an my Norton firewall reports frequent attacks when i'm running XP. Any advice would be great thanks.

there are some anti-virus programs, but you dont need one for linux.
atleast i feel that way.

for firewall the best would be firestarter or fwbuilder.
