In case anyone is asking why this is needed, yes there are a few viruses that affect Linux, but the far more normal use for this program is to ensure that Windows machines linked to your Linux machines (either by network or sneakernet) will not get a Windows virus payload from you.

I use F-Prot on both Windows and Mandrake 10. I think that with that small footprint and ease of use, it is the best damn antivirus software around. You wonder why all those download sites and magazines keep pushing Symantec and McAfee? This product is free for desktop and workstation users.

F-Prot is ok. Not great, but ok. Who knows? Someday linux may become used widely enough that virus writers will care that it exists and create a virus or two.

The most useful bit about having F-Prot running on Linux or FreeBSD, is that you can scan for windows viruses inside incoming e-mail, or Samba shares on the local unix PC.

idynkydnk - yes, Linux can get a virus. It just happens that at the moment most viruses and worms are targeted at Windows. Linux/UNIX in general is a more difficult target because of user access privileges. Since you're not supposed to run unknown programs as root, in theory, the only thing that gets messed up is the user's account, which can be deleted and recreated.

I thought linux couldn't get a virus?

Ummm...
Does this not make sense to anyone else? What's it going to protect against, the dreaded non-existent Linux Outlook Express port?
