Re: [LUG] viruses and protecting against them

[Pentiddy <pentiddy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is it me or are there really no other free linux virus scanners out there other than Clam?
I seem to be hitting problems trying to install anything else.
My main concern is scanning the backed up files before returning them to my (hopefully) clean system.
Clam somehow does not convince me it can protect me from this Trojan which seemed to be embedded in the Macros of office somehow.
My office files are mainly business related and I can't afford to lose them or re-infect myself or even worse others...
Please, any suggestions or experiences that might help?

Thanks

Anthony
