Free Virus Program For Linux
I just installed Suse9.1 personal on my computer,
connected it to my network at work, and sut it up on the ADSL internet connection. Where can i find free antivirus software for linux, and what do i need to keep my new linux pc protected from all the bad things out there? Thanx... |
Grisoft's AVG antivirus or CLAM antivirus. Clam can be used with Samba and provide realtime virus protection.

The primary line of defense is a stateful firewall built using iptables. This is actually much easier to set up that it might seem, at first, by cheating. Redhat comes with lokkit. You can install lokkit, run it to create a base configuration, save the rules created, backup the rulesets, remove and purge lokkit, then tweak your rules. The only thing that makes an installation vulnerable is inadequate administration. There is no such thing as secure but there are a few reasons why some people believe otherwise. Of those, one common reason is inexperience and another common reasons is not understanding the book by Garfinkel, Spafford and Schwartz. (Unix and Internet Security, 3rd Ed. O'Reilly. 2003. 954 pps) I -- for one -- believe it is time to reflect inward; time to consider Harishankar's sig line, which reads, "The wise man chooses to keep silent when the fools go out to scream. --- Ancient Proverb" The reason for my gloom? Maybe gloom is too strong word. Has anyone in this thread heard of a forkbomb? Go here: http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/308. You see, in the threads I've read so far, we are ripping at MS, rather than pointing to facts that show them the error in their thnking. We call MS spokespeople liars when -- in fact -- what got stated was (at best) a bunch of weasel words that had no weight until we got all pissy about them. As to the forkbomb -- I never new it had a name. If you read the article (its short) you'll realize where I'm coming from. -- John |
