DGMurdockIII Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 could we get a anti virus app integrated in this os preferably Klamav http://klamav.sourceforge.net and can you make sure that real time scanning works when you add it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney T. Administrators Posted August 1, 2008 Administrators Share Posted August 1, 2008 It is possible, but I thin that if we have it in the repositories, that might suffice. Remember Linux isn't Windows and many Linux users would prefer no anti-virus at all. I think that having a choice might be a better option. Thanks for the suggestion, however. I appreciate the thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p858snake Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 From memory there is only like 16 viruses and they only work in "lab" conditions so there isn't that much point tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
