Re: [LUG] Virus scanners??

 

In short:

- ClamAV (and AVG Linux Mail Server edition) are virus checkers useful
for removing Windows virii from emails going through your server
(while ClamWin and AVG are checkers for Windows.)

- There are no wild virii for Linux, and it would probably not be
affected by them anyway.

Ergo, virus checking for Linux is redundant, unless you wish to check
for virri passing through your mail server, and you are perfectly fine
as you are.

I do wish such a simple question as this would refrain from developing
into an argument from time to time.
