I've done pretty well with Clam AV.

Easy answer: You dont need one. As Linux is 100%% Virii free. No viruses could ever harm Linux, so need to worry there.

However, you need to configure a Firewall . You could either use the built-in Firewall in DrakX or in the MCC or a third party software firewall like Astaro. Or setup a IP Tables based Firewall.

Cheers

Yesterday's antivirus thread - For Mandrake I'd primarily and firstly go for a Firewall like Guarddog - first port of call so to speak :D

That may not be entirely correct, especially if he is providing services to Windows clients (ie mail or file sharing). I've had to do cleanup work where a Windows user got infected with a virus and then spread it to others via infected documents on a Linux share.
