Antivirus and anti spam for ubuntu desktop

[valhalla2100 at comcast.net]

Hello,

I did not think that the person was serious 
about me sending the hard disk to him.  

Besides, I have use for the drive.

Nope - dead serious. I'll be happy to take the drive off his hands if he
thinks malware was reason to toss it.
I see in his other post that it's 500Gb, so that's even better :-)
Largest I currently have is 200Gb & all of my systems (with the
exception of laptop) are built from systems tossed by Windows users; all
perfectly good hardware... (doesn't meet WinVista/7 specs, nobody
bothered to add memory, new toy is better, etc., etc).

That said, it would probably serve him better if someone takes him
off-list (raises hand reluctantly & yes that is an invitation to
valhalla2100 to contact me directly - looks like he's in my timezone)
and advises him on how to: 1) recover his data from the drive, and 2)
how to resolve issues like this in the future... maybe I can convince
him to send me the drive afterwards :-)
