According to my opinion Fedora Core should have a list for newbies and an other list for the folk sending questions here.

As an answer to Yogesh, I have downloaded Panda Antivirus for Linux. I succeeded in installing it after some trouble. Now I can start it in the terminal (command line) as root (write "su" and then the password first) by writing "pavcl / -aut" or "-heu" and it seems to do the scanning. In my case it seemed to find nothing bad :)
But how to update the virus definitions? I looked at http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/linux/linux.asp
but did not find anything about updating the definitions. Previously there was only a beta version of the program and now it's a new program, so let's hope new virus definitions appear, when new viruses enter to the Linux-world, that happens much slower than in Windows. Later let's took an other look at http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/linux/linux.asp. Or what?
Hi Yogi. This would be an excellent time for you to take a step back and
read this essay.
