There are valid reasons not to run antivirus software,
And they are?
With the exception of my BBS (still running) and until 2 weeks ago I
hadn't run any av software on my machines (now I run clamav via postfix
to stop the stream of incoming crap in my inbox)....
I've never needed to run any anti virus software. Funnily enough
neither has my wife or son (age 9) they both know the golden rules. No
disks from friends, no cover disks, and don't open any attachment
unless you know what it is and who it's from. (and the other measure -
linux runs on the desktops, so no LookOut Express)
To date I haven't been infected with a virus (except when analysing a
few, but that's another story).
