Hi All,
I'm asked for a desktop antivirus (the box is running KDE) but I have never
used an antivirus on Linux. This page that I googled up shows a number of
them:

Meanwhile, portage only lists clamav under app-antivirus/.
The machine in question is running kmail to receive/send messages from ISP
mail servers and ssmtp to send log messages for relaying via said ISP.
What have you tried and what would you recommend for such a desktop setup?
You don't need one. Linux anti-virus programs are there to protect
Windows installations (Windows executables passing through a Linux box).
Since you said "Desktop", I assume you meant protect against Linux
viruses. Since there aren't any Linus viruses, there's no need for
something like that.
