[Sheflug] Viruses and worms etc.

[Steve Tickle <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As you might recall, I have now been tasked with converting most of our 
desktop boxes to Linux. Concidentally, yesterday I received a phone call 
from someone trying to sell Norton Antivirus to us and who was delighted to 
inform me that they supported the Linux OS.

Now I know that trojans and worms exist for Linux and I'm not stupid enough 
to think that they're not an issue. However, given the appropriate 
"conventional" security procedures being put into place, am I right in 
thinking that NAV and the like are a waste of money... or is it still a 
good idea to invest in them?

Cheers
Steve
