Tony,
In Linux it is not needed to use an AV program, except when you have an
email server with windows/mac users. For them, the best I've seen is
named AVG (look for it in the web), it is freeware and good. For email
server in Linux, am using panda.

Hello everyone,
I am back.
Coming from the windows world, the first thing I get
for my computer is an antivirus software. So my
question is - Are there any good opensource freeware
:) anti virus programs! (Or) Do we even need one on
linux! :)
Simple answer - don't worry. See other posts for why a linux user
should be bothered by viruses. (you are running as a user, and not as
root I assume)
More complex answrer - keep an eye on fedora extras -
http://www.fedora.us - who are about to relaunch very soon. There are
prebuilt clam-av rpms that I've seen in their repository that may
shortly be worth looking at.
Cheers,
Pthagonal.
