A question on protection software

[Brummelen, M. van (ICT)]

Hi,

'apt-cache search anti-virus' show's you a nice list and it won't cost you a thing.
It sounds like your employee is trying to scare you without proper knownledge :)

Onderwerp: A question on protection software
 
Hello, 

Final question. 

Some while ago I was telling a Microsoft employee why I was interested 
in switching to LINUX. One of the reasons were the virusus and trojan 
problems. He told me that if I switch I will need to buy anti-virus type 
software. He also said that it was a lot more expensive than what is 
offered for Windows (he also told me that the danger was equal but on 
that I think he was being verbal creative) . 

Does anyone know of a anti-virus & trojan software that won't cost me 
a big bundle?
