Antivirus and anti spam for ubuntu desktop

[valhalla2100 at comcast.net]

Your reply is wrong.

I was infected when I checked out a Google Alert 
PhotoShop Layer.  Turned out that the URl was not
for information on layers.  I went to a page that
had PhotoShop [and other text that I did not get
to read] on it and I was instantly taken to anot
horrible page.  Pop-ups and when I tried to use
the computer the next day my e/m did not work. 
I rebooted and nothing worked.

My solution was to buy a new hard drive and switch
from Ubuntu to Mint.

You don't need any. Basically, at least so far, viruses and spyware
are a Windows problem & don't affect Linux (or Mac OS X) users.
