hi all,

im just wondering if i really need to run a fire wall & anti-virus? are
there any threats for linux/ubuntu users? are there even any viruses for
linux?

i have ClamTk Virus Scanner installed but have never used it
i also have Firestarter installed & have never used it, well actually i
tried once & it blocked access to my local LAN so i just disabled it

thoughts?
