Being a former dos and windows user for many years, I always had some sort of virus protection software on my pc. I know that linux is in general a lot more secure. But do I still need some sort of virus protector anyways? I use Redhat. Thanks in advance.
Nope, if you don't dualboot or aren't networked with M$s or aren't sharing mail through them. If Linux comes with antivirus, it's for protection of Windows shares and mail. Who knows what 2morrow will bring?
good luck
