Open source anti virus is just opening the floodgates for spam and hacks. Anything like this would be an embarrasing blunder.

I don't know any kind of open source AV. But you can try a freeware AV: I use Avast! antivirus and it's very powerful.

Does it make any sense having an open source AV??
Coders could easily create virus for it.
On the other hand, brains all over the world could contribute to create an unbreakable antivirus!!!

Try http://www.avast.com and download the home edition.
Its one of the safest AV I have ever used,

It has a regular update for its library, sometimes whole program updates,
and it blocks out 99% of the virusses and worms at first contact, they cant even harm your PC biggrin.gif

Yea, I know it sounds like a cheap commercial, but just try and see.

  4. Cannot Open Display - Error
    (2)
    I basically have some problems in accessing xWindow applications(SAS and nedit in particular) in the
    server. i get "Cannot open display" when i try to access nedit and other applications. I did some
    findings on this and thought this might be of some help to you. But I was not able to zero in on
    the problem yet. The problem I guess, is the remote not able to enable the display to the server.
    The display settings has to be set properly in the remote machine. Commands I tried

  5. Php Source Code Unveiled In Browser?
    is that possible? (7)
    I am quite new to PHP and this concern came to my mind after playing around a bit with it... When
    PHP is not correctly configured on the web server the source code of a php file we try to access
    through a browser will be shown instead of the result of the code itself. This will normally not
    happen when PHP is working properly, but I was just wondering if it could still be possible to see
    that code if a user wanted to or if something on the server failed. This would for example expose
    sensitive information like mysql passwords and so on... Is anything like that possib....

    are Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C. All vitamins are not discovered together. In 1909 Vitamin A
    was isolated from cod liver oil. Another name of Vitamin A is retinol. Vitamin D was also isolated
    from cod liver oil, but 9 years after the discovery of Vitamin A. The discovery year....

    following programs; Zone Alarm Security Suite 7.1, Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, BitDefender
    10, and the 2008 version of the Jiangmin antivirus. As for the reason why these programs don't
    work, Microsoft says "they are incompatible and so they must be block". Well not exactly like that

  20. Cs: Source Vs Cs 1.6

    What do you think? Currently Counter Strike 1.6 is being played by almost 10 times as many as
    Counter Strike Source. I made the switch a couple of months ago and I now enjoy Source much more
    than 1.6. But the community generally disagree, if this is because they havnt tryed it and gotten
    used to it or if they just hate it. I think that source just needs a bit ajusting and such, and
    maybe have an include way of turning down the graphics so people with average pc's dont get fps
