I need protection

[clone]

Hi
I have a really quick question. And i would be really happy if you could answer to it!

Is there a GOOD antivirus program for Linux, or a GOOD firewall???

Thanks!

Good antivirus program? Not really (aren't that many virii for Linux. When you get one it's pretty much a download the specific patch/fix and install it thing). As for firewalls though the iptables firewall in the 2.4.x kernels is quite good. You just need to download a firewall script to set it up how you want (there's a plethora of those on freshmeat).

IPTables is currently the second best (in my opinion) free/open source firewall available today. IPFilter being #1, but that is more BSDish and commercial UNIXish. And like win2k, if you dont use the root account you dont have to worry about many viruses.
