It has already been noted in this thread that anti-virus software is not necessarily needed as most viruses target Windows, but you might want to take a look at software that scans for rootkits [1]. I would also encourage you to familiarise yourself with Debian by reading the Debian reference [2] (also available as Debian package "debian-reference-LANG") and the "Securing Debian Manual" [3].
