This online virus scanner requires IE5.5. You may have problems to find a linux version of this browser... :)

Note that their are other online scanners on trendmicro.com, of fsecure.com that may not be so restrictives on browser. But you may encounter problems at other level. Online scanners are generally build to scan Windows machines.

Question is why scan your machine ? Does it provide shares to windows machines ? In such a case, I'm using perl script provided with file::scan module for perl. It is based on TrendMicro patterns (updates available on site) and give rather good results.

Regards,

Fred
