As already posted by others, likewise I'm very relaxed about the malware 
threat to Linux. Whereas, Microsoft is a never ending user nightmare. A 
_lot_ of time is wasted on the MS stuff with all the anti-v and 
anti-everything else stuff that is /required/.


For the sake of paranoia on the Linux systems, I run chkrootkit and also 
have the firewall (shorewall, iptables) restricted to only pass traffic 
that is /expected/.

Aside: There's a lot of web pages now trying to access all manner of 
random ports when being viewed... The pages look unaffected despite that 
stuff getting blocked.


Good luck,
Martin


(ps: Just the v-word seems to be enough to trip the mailserver anti-spam!)
