FC2 Does it have built in virus protection?
Hi newbie to Linux here. I see that I have a firewall, but does FC2 also come with a virus protection? If so you someone tell me the name of it so I can try to do a yum update?
If not any suggestions for a good free one that will work with my OS? |
I know this is not the answer you are looking for, but read here: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/10...ndows_viruses/
And here: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 I don't know of a single successful Linux virus that exists or has existed in the wild, ever. And I do not believe FC2 comes with virus protection. Maybe someone knows of an app they can recommend if you still feel concerned. |
anomie,
Wow thanks great article, totally reassures me! I think I'll stay clear of lindows lol I never opened attachments in email, my family and friends learned years ago not to send me "cute" junk. and had everything set to be the most secure in windows, yet I have had 2 viruses get me. I am fer stickin with linux and learning how to use it and hopefully someday learn to program it. I can dream |

Fedora Core does come with ClamAV ("yum install clamav"), but it is not for checking Linux viruses; it is mostly for Linux email servers to check their emails for Windows viruses. |
