I note F-Secure makes a Linux anti-virus app with a full-version trial
(30 day) downloadable. Think I'll try it just to see.

F-Secure is not to be confused with F-Prot, which ALSO makes Linux
anti-virus apps. I've always remembered F-Prot as the only software
company I've ever heard of based in Iceland.

I run McAfee VirusScan Pro on my WinME drive, and it has caught a few
disasters in the making. I see no sweat in running an autostart AV on
my Linux drive JUST IN CASE.
