You don't need to be concerned with virii in Linux, nor worms,
nor trojans. Almost all are written for Windoze. But if you insist,
there is something like Dr. Webb or whatever. If you look around
your Mandrake desktop you'll find it.
Here's a few links I picked up during the year. Never used
any plus Mandrake 10, so don't know how good are they.
If desktop, you probably don't need a anti-virus.
Originally posted by jik Anyone knows whether thereis antivirus software for mandrake 10 or for any brand of linux desktop ?
If you like an antivirus software package, you can install CLAMAV directly through the urpmi command. Look it up with urpmq clamav.
There are serveral clamav package, and you can configure it to update it daily, hourly and so on. Clamav is an OpenSource program, so for free. With a database of 22000 virusses trojan horses.
It is a good one, you can intergrate it in serveral mail-programs.
sorry correction, update clamav with the following result:

I use f-prot on mandrake 10 (http://www.f-prot.com/) and it works well for me, a nice small command line program but also seems to have advanced options if you want more.
