   What for? Unless you do something really stupid, like running the machine as root all the time, nothing can touch you. Even then most bugs can’t get too far.

   If you want to help protect your bug-ridden Microsoft Windows machines using the advanced power of Linux, then try ClamAV:

   So glad Linux doesn’t get spyware!

   I am not aware of any spyware problems with linux. You might do a google search with "spyware linux" as the key words and see if you get any hits indicating that you need to install anything.

   ClamAV is anti-virus, and that is mainly to check for windoze viruses in e-mail – not necessary for your linux e-mail client, unless you do a lot of forwarding, in which case you may want it to avoid sending a windoze-user an infected file.

   If you REALLY want to install such a program, use google to identify such a program, or go to the Suse website and see what is said there.
