Title: Antivirus and Firewall for linux
Post by: magic_plank on November 04, 2006, 05:35:38 PM

I know there are less viruses and the like for linux, but would you recommend an AV or firewall program anyway? If so any in particular? (Preferably free)

Most linux distros have a firewall installed by default. What are you using?

I wouldn't (and don't) worry about an antivirus.
