The reason really has nothing to do with Linux and everything to do with protecting Windows based computers from each other in a heterogeneous environment where Linux is handling files that are moving between Windows systems. (ie; email, network shares, etc). Even then, ClamAV isn't a great solution. If you want to scan for malware under Wine, ClamAV isn't really ideal, either. It's just not very good software. You'd be better off finding a Windows based product that will run in a Wine environment. -- Chris -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
