Xandros firewall question

Since disabled are you running an AV/Firewall? If so what.Any info would be appriciated.Thanx in advance.

I don't use Xandros, so don't know whats available in Xandros repositories for download.

Without doubt you need a firewall, look for Firestarter or Guarddog.

Anti-virus is an option unless you're networked to Windows or send files off to people who use Windows. Forget Kclamav/clamav, its not very good. Look for F-Prot, BitDefender, AntiVir, Avast or AVG.

Even though AV is an option in Linux its still affected by rootkits, get chkroot or rkhunter and you'll be fine :)

I'm new to this site but I can see I've found a home thanx for the super quick reply thank you

no problem...and welcome to TZ :)

FastGame what would be you're pref for a AV?

I use PCLinuxOS and the only thing available in the repositories is F-Prot & Kclamav. I use F-Prot.

F-Prot now has what many consider the #1 AV expert (ex NOD32 guru-AV God) so its on its way to the top. He's known as Inspector Clouseau http://www.av-experts.org/weblog/

Any of the other AV's I mentioned are very good ;)

FastGame again I appriciate the fast reply I'll do a little reading and with your feedback I'll get hooked up. I just started using xandros about a week ago in fact the first linux ever for me. as was said above I' m sick of Big Bills Bull-ST I'm a believer I'm switchin over. Thanx again

Sorry gang didn't mean to go off topic thanx for movein the post won't happen again!!!
