Re: [LUG] viruses and protecting against them

Is it me or are there really no other free linux virus scanners out

I seem to be hitting problems trying to install anything else.
My main concern is scanning the backed up files before returning them
to my (hopefully) clean system.
Clam somehow does not convince me it can protect me from this Trojan
which seemed to be embedded in the Macros of office somehow.
My office files are mainly business related and I can't afford to lose
them or re-infect myself or even worse others...
Please, any suggestions or experiences that might help?

Thanks

Hi

There is a free version of sophos, you can read about it here: https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/16819
I run clam and sophos on my machine scanning all incoming emails.
