apt-get and security.debian.org. When a new exploit is announced, security.debian.org almost always has an updated deb available within a day and this update is announced on the debian-announce list. To date, I am not aware of any virus/worm which has exploited vulnerabilities less than a month or two old, so following debian-accounce and applying security updates immediately when they're announced would seem to be a very effective strategy. > Are there any Linux virus/ worm scanners for Debian? The only virus scanners I am aware of that run under linux are designed to scan for Windows viruses in traffic that the linux server is handling. -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius
