[Alug] Virus on Linux?

22 Jun 2001

      Hello,

I just join ALUG and have a newly installed Red Hat 7.1 on my PC. I hope
to explore it fully but there comes a concern on virus.

Can virus attact a linux system? People with MSWindows are constantly
affected and need to update their Norton or McAfee virus scanner. Is there
a similar thing in linux world?

Cheers,
Vanisa.
