I have read that Microsoft has bought Sybari and discontinued its anti-virus support for UNIX and Linux. It seems Microsoft views Linux as a real threat. Since Sybari is out, what would be an alternative for Linux users with regards to anti viruses?

If nobody would use beta-software provided by monopolists it wouldn't be necessary to use antivirus software. As a matter of fact some OS got popular and others not (only for servers and to secure the other one agains virus and malicious codes for their own made backdoors). There are many other solutions against virus and I don't even know this antivirus anyway. We use antivir, fprot, sophos and clamav on our mailgateway. As a reaction against virus our mailserver 'magically' rejects executable attachements (so av software is normally not used much by it). The best solution is not to use antivir's mailscanner but use amavis or other solutions. It is very funny that everytime a OS manufacturor buys a non important whatever software distributor everybody thinks linux is affected by it. The next effect is some OS doesn't like rfc's while others use it or initiated the rfc. Reguards Philippe - -- Diese Nachricht ist digital signiert und enthält weder Siegel noch Unterschrift!
