Iain Bruno França dos Reis To: security-basics () securityfocus com <brunoreis@terra. cc: com.br> Subject: antivirus for linux 15/06/2004 20:24 Hello guys I'm kinda new to linux, and getting more and more worried about security. I was wondering: is it necessary for me to have an anti-virus application? If so, is it a "live scanner", like the ones I know for windows? Do you recommend using an anti-virus software? If so, which? Moreover, I have a linux firewall. Is there any way for me to detect virus activity trying either to break into a computer (like Sasser or others like it) or to detect incoming mail with virus? Note: my firewall isn't my mail server. I was wondering if it could sniff connections to pop mail servers and detect virus code. Thanks in advance.
