Re: Virus checking software for HP-UX

There is not any HP-UX anti-virus software availiable that I have ever heard of.

UNIX, by it very nature is resistant to virii. As long as the System Admin has taken security precautions, kept up on security patches for the OS, UNIX systems are very secure.

Most virii are spread through the use of Microsoft software. Virus creators know they will have the most impact if they write a virus for a large user base. Because 90% of business desktops run MS products, it makes for an easy target.

Hope this helps.
