Antivirus for Linux?
I have just got Linux Fedora Core 2 up and running, and the idea struck me. What about antivirus?

BitDefender and AntiVir are both good anti virus progs. I use AntiVir on both Wondow$ and Mandrake 10.0

not really necessary though for linux as there are almost no threats to the os as compared to MS

Really shouldn't worry about a virus. Linux doesn't have Outlook Express, Internet Explorer and Windows. Without those, it is nearly impossible to get a virus.

So the viruses that Windows normaly contracts probably don't understand Linux at all. Makes sense. Thanks guys.
