Re: [Evolution] Is virus protection required?




I go through every so often and run RAV on my system

Is this a default package with most installations?

I've never had a Linux mail tool that would suffer from this sort of
virus.

Does Evolution suffer from this sort of virus?

Should I be concerned that I could be receiving viruses now via my Linux
Evolution mail reader?

Doesn't matter what mailer you use, you'll get viruses. There's less
than a handful that affect Linux, and most of those aren't really
viruses, they're Trojans.

I go through every so often and run RAV on my system, just to clear up
the disk space that's wasted by them. They're not a danger to a Linux
system, they're just annoying because they take up disk space.
