Linux

Hi,
Can anyone suggest the best free antivirus for Linux? I'm using RED HAT 9.0 & want to install antivirus for it....
So if anyone could suggest anything, that would be great.

I believe Linux operatings system dozen required any Antivirus software.. If any feture need to add or bug fixed required only Rmp's.. is really Linux required Antivirus?

hi there

I am using McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for Linux, v1.6, its good but takes up memory when it scans so I schedule them at night

Here are a few problems that I can see, Bill.

You are using a distribution of Linux that is about a decade old, and that has no more bug fixes for it. I would get on changing that to a recent distribution immediately.

Also, there are few, if any, live and wild viruses for Linux. More often than not, the machines are exploited by some piece of software they are running, and then subject to escalating privileges and "rooting" the box, not some random virus that is run.

Antiviruses for Linux are usually there to protect the content that is served to less secure machines, such as those that run Microsoft Windows.

Thanks for your answers guys.

Red Hat 9?! Might I suggest you get off that version along with any windows 98 boxes you might be running?

Anyways: clamav.
