I use AntiVir (forget the address), but antivirus protection isn't
(really) necessary under UNIX-like OSs unless you're a mail or news
server for the most part.. or if you have lots of shell accounts.
Disk Defragmenting under just about any file system like ext2 (NTFS as
well), is next to pointless and often a bad idea (since it can be
counter-productive). Note how fragmentation with ext2 doesn't seem to
increase quickly like with msdos file systems. ext2, and others, have
better algorithms for sticking a file where fragmentation is small if at
all... so 10% fragmentation with an ext2 system, is probably still tons
better than with a file system that doesn't use permission bits, etc,
with half the fragmentation. It's all about keeping file blocks close
enough together so that the disk doesn't have to go all over the place to
find what it needs.
