Not only are Linux viruses scarcer'n hen's teeth and likely to remain so for the foreseeable future, but the market also has free, safe, reliable, Open Source offerings in this area. I have one client site set up with AMaViS feeding ClamAV and then a very good, very fast-responding "commercial" virus scanner (which shall remain nameless because I think they do a very good job, but this situation makes them look bad). In two years, the non-FOSS virus scanner has never reported a virus: ClamAV got them all. Thousands of the suckers. I still use the "commercial" scanner on MS-Windows desktops because their shims for detecting viruses on the fly have no reasonable FOSS equivalent that I know of. Yet. |

Winpooch, http://winpooch.sourceforge.net/ Though it only works on the NT based Windows, not Windows 98 or Me. It uses Clamwin as its backend. |
