Here's some advice, delete it right now. Also, try getting norton antivirus 2004 or if you can, norton system works 2004 which I have been using for the longest time now. Obviously, I've been upgrading the products as they come along, but I love the norton suite of tools, and have tested it against a host of different viruses and worms; it passed with flying colors for me. Take care, Sina No trees were destroyed in sending this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca [mailto:speakup-bounces@braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Hart Larry Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 5:31 PM To: speakup@braille.uwo.ca Subject: Linux-and-Virus Programs? Hi All: Some of my linux experts have told me I don't need to have any anti-virus programs. Reason I am asking is that I am sharing files on Mutella in Linux. While I was looking for Christmas dance music, I ended up with a file, which is an executeable. I don't know its content, but I hope its music. I would feel much better if I could scan it while in Linux before I run it from Jaws in win98. Are their any suggestions or speech friendly Linux virus programs I can run with speakup? Much earlier this year I had alot of trouble with backdoor viruses in windows. Thanks so much in advance Hart _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
