Re: Speaking of viruses

I am not using antivirus software on my Linux machines but I think sooner or later I'll need to. My 2 Windows machines both have antivirus software and the definitions are kept up to date.

I sort of wonder if the antivirus software vendors sponsor the spread of viruses as a stay-in-business measure.

Another naive question from a Linux newbie - Are you guys all running
antivirus software on your Fedora box?  I've had some pretty knowledgeable
Linux guys tell me it's unnecessary - Could that be correct?  I understand
that Linux is inherently less susceptible to system-wide problems that can
be more easily spread on a Windows machine.  Give me a clue - Do I need
Linux antivirus, and if so, what's generally accepted as the best?  Tnx -
