You shouldn't need virus protection for Linux. Besides, I am not aware of any product that provides anti virus protection for a Linux box. Most Linux virus scanners are made to scan for Winbloze viruses. Victor Cardona
Thanks for replying. This laptop does run only linux but it spends much of its time sitting inside the UK NHS net where all sorts of horrible ms office docs get sent all over the place. My concern was that I might receive a corrupted one (save it locally and then convert it for my own use - I tend to use catdoc from within emacs) but then forward the original to some poor unsuspecting ms ensalved secretary.
