I was browsing http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch07s02.html, and took
a look at the AntiVirus server portion. I wanted to recommend updating this
portion -
*1.*
What is Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) Server?
Clam AntiVirus (ClamAV) is an anti-virus toolkit for Unix/Linux operating
systems. Typically ClamAV is intergrated with email servers and can also be
used to scan individual files. Linux rarely suffers from viruses and other
nasties that infect other operating systems, so most likely you don't need
to install ClamAV.
I would recommend replacing this with something along the lines of "While
Linux rarely suffers from viruses and other nasties that infect other
operating systems, it is wise to keep your system protected with anti-virus
software and up to date definitions."
We all agree that linux is more secure and less prone to viruses then other
operating systems, however, comments like this tend to promote a certain
ignorance and a false sense of security.
