Re: clamav 0.95.3

[Robert Middleswarth <robert@middleswarth.net>]

Clamav purpuse it to catch windows viruses as they pass though the 
system.  It is mainly used to scan emails and to scan file shares.  I 
personally use it to scan emails for the most part.  I believe there 
have been about 600 total virus for Linux and that includes the concept 
ones.  I have only heard of two actually Virus attacks amide at linux 
and both of those were years ago.  Most attacks on Linux aren't 
virus/warms but manual / automated attacks and you main defense against 
those are firewalls and keeping your system up to date.

Thanks
