199676 2003-12-12 04:07:00 Heck Chill, you got me all excited then about a free Linux AVG :D

But alas, I see it is $33 USD for a single workstation license. Think I might stick to F-prot (www.f-prot.com) then :p

199678 2003-12-12 11:54:00 Yeah, came across F-Prot a while back coz the name is the same as that of a Keylogger by Mikko Tech that Ive used in the past.

Does it scan for Windows and Linux viruses, Just Windows viruses, or just Linux viruses?
