clamAV you can use the kbuntu install software and search for it, check it and install

we need to know which email program to tell you how to integrate.

since there are no know active viruses for Linux, you can put your mind at rest that your system will be ok, but its always good practice to help protect anyone from you forwarding on an email with a windows virus

hi well after a few knock backs and headaches

im posting this from

kubuntu

my Q DOES F-PROT

protect me from email viruses

i happen to know my isp uses f-prot

as you stated in an earlier post linux hasent many viruses

but with email

you can never tell

if i can figure kubuntu i will perservere with it

i like it

tho it is harder to use

i had a hellova job trying to find the packages

but once i found them

the potential is unlimited

i found several web browsers

and i thought linux was taken over by that virus

mozilla

i like it better than ubuntu

tho ime still trying to figure some of the applications

for instance when i first installed the web browser was konquere

but now ive lost it

ime also haveing trouble trying to find k-mail

and buggered if i can get it back on to the desk top

any help here

thanks

marty

Marty ,email makes no difference,your used to the way windows email clients can receive scripted email. there is no , and I mean no email program for Linux that you can do this with. also to do anything to your system the program would have to run sudo and then have your root password.

as for finding K-Mail or Konquror open command shell and type the programs name in like kmail.. if that works you can then create an icon like hitest wrote before and for link just put the name of the program.
