I use suse as a workstation with Antivir as a virus scanner, but this machine still send viruses or worm to other computers on LAN, to our mail server, to all customer, etc. our mail server use redhat 9.0 (shrike) with fprot antivirus for mail server, but it's still send viruses/worm to all of our customers. So I, install the application that act as mail proxy, check email that send by my smtp port (evolution mail client), and use another port to send my email. I use avmailgate as antivirus for smtp (postfix). You can choose another aplication like this, such as amavisd-new, it support many virus scanners. so far so good, but some times, my machine still send mail with viruses/worm. I think antivir-avmailgate still miss it..... On Sun, 2004-06-06 at 05:37, peter Nikolic wrote:

I am new to Suse and Linux. Which is your favorite virus scanner. Also is there a Window Popup Stopper for Konqueror.
you only need a virus scanner if you are intending to act as an mail server to a windows machine Linux does not suffer from viruses as long as you are not running as root you are not bomb proof but as close as is reasonable
Pop-up stoppers are another thing you do not need it is built into Konqueror cant remember just where but in the configeration somewhere ..
