I use Norton AV from the Symantec folks, for both the Netware servers and NT servers, along with Norton for Exchange (for our mail server), and NAV for all MS desktops. I've been very pleased with it (except that it slows down the MS based computers; altho if you've got a semi-modern PC (i.e., PII-based, you won't really notice it, unless you're very short of RAM)
There aren't really any Linux viruses, so there aren't realy any Linux virus programs. (a security exploit - like a buffer overflow- is NOT a virus). I'm not sure if there are Linux virus CHECKERS, to check incoming email for MS viruses, either.
>I have about 5 computers... one of which is a linux box providing a internet connection to three windows machines.. and a SCO unix server. The windows machines are all running 98 second edition... I would need something (Norton?) to cover the windows machines.. and the linux I am not sure of. I did do some minor searches... but this is generally the best way to get some more information.
