Today the office internet surfing PC contracted a trojan, what's worse is that someone must have activated it because Firefox was being redirected to random anti-virus websites with bogus popups, the usual nonsense. AVG SBS claims to have healed the infection but Firefox was still compromised, and I won't take any chances; the whole PC needs to be formatted IMO.
The thing with AVG or any of these web security things is that it can only do so much for you - it will throw up warnings and stop signs galore, but people have become so used to clicking OK to get rid of such messages that they probably won't even read them and end up infecting the PC again.
To prevent further infections on this PC I am considering putting on Ubuntu linux. The users shouldn't care just as long as I make it really easy for them to run up a browser and surf the web, that's the only thing this PC is used for anyway.
Anyone got any suggestions for a free anti-virus checker that works well with Ubuntu? I have used ClamAV before now but that only does file scanning and not resident virus protection. Is there an Ubuntu edition of AVG? I'll have to investigate further. While I'm not particularly worried about the machine contracting a virus, I don't want inert infected files to be passed on, nor risk people being caught out by that 1% chance of having their email or bank passwords stolen by a keylogger or what ever.
