Well, this is not a virus, so anti-virus would be less useful (clamav).

Keep your firewall running, run an IDS, such as Bro, OSSEC, or Snort, and don't click on unknown links coming into your e-mail box.

Thanks shadowace- I do have the firewall, and stRicT no link or attachment policy for emails as others use the computer too, and they have learned not to click links u less they know the person and the ,ink is tO something expected like a youtube video or known shopping site or whatever.

I hadnt heard of the ids before, hnaks I will check those out.
