| 1196670 | 2011-04-25 22:55:00 | Unetbootin had some dialogue come up saying to reboot and change the BIOS settings. Unetbootin had added something to the BIOS so I could boot from the USB. Unetbootin does not change anything in the bios it just makes a bootable USB drive that is why you had to change the boot order within the bios. |

| 1196674 | 2011-04-26 04:23:00 | I have ClamAV installed only because I get things from Windows users that will get returned and I often use a USB stick with ClamAV when cleaning up trashed Windows PC's | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 1196675 | 2011-04-26 04:40:00 | I have ClamAV installed only because I get things from Windows users that will get returned x2 - ClamAV doesn't offer realtime protection, however. There are viruses and things for Linux, but I think most are very specific to certain versions etc and so are not in general a huge threat. It would probably be better to have one than not, though. |

| 1196676 | 2011-04-26 06:38:00 | I have used Linux since about 1998 and apart from the very odd scan I have never bothered with antivirus software - the chances of getting something of any seriousness is very slim indeed. | johnd (85) | ||
