Well this is marvelous! I think I may use it.

However, I do love seeing my Windows using friends suffer.. that's when the 'should have used Linux' line comes in

Ohh yea , I drop that line like it's hot and at every single available opportunity. lol I'm a butt head.

Nope. This is only for scanning Windows virus. Is good if you want to protect other computers on your network running Windows and to avoid sending virus to your friends by e-mail.

It does say for UNIX and Windows based viruses and spyware though.. I'm confused.

[Wiebelhaus]

It's for *Unix (Built to run on) Using the same Viral Definitions as the enterprise for windows , Lunix , BSD , Mac. This is for multi platform server & Desktop protection.

I really don't understand what's so confusing about it.

If your just one guy using one *unix desktop then it probably won't benefit you , But this benefits my computing and serving requirements for multiple specific applications immensely.

I previously tested this on Intrepid with ext3, and Jaunty with ext3 with no problems. I just done a new install of Jaunty with ext4, and for some reason the "right click" integration scan crashes the desktop. Everything else works fine. I guess it may have something to do with how ext4 handles/writes to the file system.

I use the drop box. Works like a charm with ext4.

[67GTA]

Yeah, the dropbox works fine. The only bug is the right click scan option. I'll keep digging

Yep, fails for me too; using ext4. Just compiled and tried it. Crashed nautilus.

hi there ...


i am pretty new to the ubuntu OS and community (i think 3 days qualifies me on that point) .
not wishing to hijack this thread or make a redundant topic , i will explain my situation briefly .

i read this thread and it caught my attention . what better way to start out than to dig right in and have a go at a couple of contaminated drives (yes , insanity does take several forms) ... well , maybe once i get my feet a little wetter .

i have version 8.10 ... i am waiting a few days to dl the 9.04 and put it on a 2.8 GHz machine i am building .
i have obtained the key and the link to the dl address .
i looked at the different files for dl'ing ...
the question is now figuring out what to do next .
as i said , i am new to this and if someone knows of an existing post/thread/section that can address this issue i would appreciate being pointed in the right direction .

many thanks in advance ...

now , off to the newbie introductions to make my second post !
