At the moment I would say that you don't "need" an antivirus program for linux because although linux does have security flaws, it is much more secure than other operating systems. But having AVG can come in handy when you are sharing files between multiple computers, some with windows and some with GNU/Linux, in case somebody hands you a flash drive filled with nasties it won't be able to do anything with your Fedora install, but it will save the next windows user from getting infected:p<div>

suit Fedora?) on Fedora 11??<br>
