Files don't have to be executed for an AV engine to recognize it. The file just needs to be opened for input or output, and the engine scans the file before letting the transaction to continue. So, if anyone is doing file serving from Linux on System z, AV scanning is a "must have" if the clients are running Windows. I ran into this situation a number of times at EDS. The platform hosting the files isn't necessarily the issue, it's the clients that usually are the issue.
