According to my opinion Fedora Core should have a list for newbies and an
other list for the folk sending questions here. I am very keen on Linux
(it's one of my recent hobbies), but while scanning through the letters only
some 5% are on the level I can understand while reading through. So please,
is there somewhere a post list for Fedora Newbies as for ex. Mandriva has?

As an answer to Yogesh, I have downloaded Panda Antivirus for Linux. I
succeeded in installing it after some trouble. Now I can start it in the
terminal (command line) as root (write "su" and then the password first) by
writing "pavcl / -aut" or "-heu" and it seems to do the scanning. In my case
it seemed to find nothing bad :)

But how to update the virus definitions? I looked at
http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/linux/linux.asp
but did not find anything about updating the definitions. Previously there
was only a beta version of the program and now it's a new program, so let's
hope new virus definitions appear, when new viruses enter to the
Linux-world, that happens much slower than in Windows. Later let's took an
other look at http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/linux/linux.asp.  Or
what?
