What are people using for anti-virus software? I've got BitDefender running on my machine, but I'd like to find something zero-cost that has a nice GUI so that when I set up boxes for friends and family, they can use it.
Regularly (and automatically) updated virus definitions are a must, here.

Not getting into the argument of why you need it for Linux although if you are sharing file with friends on windows it could be well worth it. You should look at ClamAV. It is GPL and well supported and works better than most commercial products. The only thing is it is a command line scanner. http://www.clamav.net/ Unfortunately SuSE does not provide an RPM but it is very easy to compile. You can setup a cron job to update the virus defs on an hourly basis. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
