[plug] Anti-Virus

[Jay Turner]

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

I checked out a number of the AV's put forward and I am going with F-Prot.

This is purely because the scanning I want to do is a one off as the disk is
an archive
of files from a company we recently acquired. I just need to scan it once
and clean any infections.

F-Prot Linux Workstation is only $29 for corporate users and I used to use
F-Prot back in the day under DOS, so all that kinda sealed the deal.

Thanks again for all the suggestions, when I get around to migrating our Win
NT 4 server here to a Linux Samba File/Mail server I will definitely revisit
some of the more advanced AV programs suggested.

Cheers
Jay
