Even those Windows antivirus programs I know need a bit of configuration before they work, so it's not a drop-in situation.
A few days ago I had to install a small Windows partition to deal with some MS Access stuff I maintain. Naturally I added an antivirus program, as well as anti-spyware stuff. I used AVG's free version and there's no effort to configuring anything - answer a couple of questions and you're done. Certainly no more effort than adding Clam AV to my openSuse 11 partition. Both of them are essentially drop in situations. Bob -- bob@rsmits.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
