Re: Best AntiVirus for Fedora Core 1

[Dean Scott <dean1005 cox net>]

I have always run AV  software on each windows computer, client or 
server, since viruses can be spread in numerous ways (email, ftp, 
floppies etc).  Norton's AV product is very good, checks each files as 
it is opened and the live update feature makes it relatively painless to 
administer.
