Re: [Plug] email antivirus for Linux ?


McAfee makes an version of thier NT anti-virus software that runs on Linux.
It will scan for MicroSoft related viruses.
(Being that 99% of these viruses are written for MS operating systems and
there are
no known viruses associated with Linux I would just move the users to Linux
also.)
