Re: Installing new software...
I haven't tried it yet, but Avast! includes a scanner for Windows/Mac/Linux (so I can see about using the same application on all of my machines). And the home version of them are all free.
I like the idea of an available Linux scanner *IF* they are going to actually keep up-to-date with the Linux virus definitions. It's no use if they are caught in the same "Linux doesn't get viruses" and take a while to wake up when one does arrive.
I do agree, though, that even if you are running Linux, running an anti-virus checker for emails coming and GOING to Windows users keeps you from becoming known as "Virus Vincent"!
