You may want to read http://ubuntu-in.org/wiki/Mailing_list_FAQ You are right that clam takes time for scanning. But it is pretty good at the job of virus detection. Also you may not need antivirus on GNU/Linux but you may need to use it, on systems with dual boot, to scan Windows partitions if you are unable to boot into Windows due to virus. Ram, Take my advice and get read of Windows. :-) Onkar -- Passion - Some people climb mountains - others write Free software.
