    artin1982,

    Generally Linux does not need a Anti Virus Checker, mainly because it is rare for a virus to actually damage a Linux box due ot how user levels and groups work, however if you are wanting to scan incoming mail for your Windows users I am not sure of a good Virus checker, and I feel you are better giving your clients notes to scan there own e-mails for viruses as before you know it, if a your virus checker misses a virus, you will get many complaints and many people will wish for compensation when there machine goes up the shoot.

    Following are a list of security measures you should take, I haven't any ideas of programs as I am still new to this game, however this is what I have picked up of different forums:

    -Lock down ports
    -Lock directories
    -Lock down partitions (Does with directories)
    -Lock down users (Limit what they can do)
    -Lock down binaries (Don't allow users to use wget etc)
    -nosuid and nogrid etc
    -No root login from virtual terminal (Make a sepereate acount that can login as root)
    -Lock down root login to onnly a single user (Your user)

    Hope this helps
