I don't know if there is a virus for linux, but this puppy from BitDefender could come in andy when in your linux box share file with a windows box

link: http://www.bitdefender.com/index.php?tab=2

products:

x Linux Mail Server Protection

x Linux File Server Protection <- bit defender for samba

Then U could run this from a cron job:

Ex 1)

put a file called update (with permission set to 755) in /etc/cron.daily/

Code:

marco@apollo ~ $ cat /etc/cron.daily/update

#! /bin/sh



nice -n 10 /opt/BitDefender/bdc/bdc --update

CraftyC is the best Linux guy on BetaONE. Not doubts and he is a Gentoo guy.

Putting my mouth where my keyboard is, I tried Ubuntu and then put Xandros 3.0 Deluxe back on. It is working flawlessly on my Toshiba Satellite 5100. I intalled Skype (linux version) and just tested it with a 30 minute landline telephone call to my Italy based daughter. Perfect. With Xandros, everything works, including the shared printer over the MS network with my desktop. Maybe I'm missing something, but I could never achieve the ease of configuration with other distros that Xandros gives out of the box.

Sheesh. This is an ancient thread. Dunno how I got it up on my screen. I'm going to be accused again of just waking up from a long winter's sleep. :) And, welcome to the new world. Anyway my experience is pertinent for Linux and I hope there are others taking a new look. :)
