 Sophos Anti-Virus supports the following UNIX platforms: Linux on Intel,
 Linux on Alpha, FreeBSD on Intel, Solaris on SPARC, Solaris on Intel, AIX
 on PowerPC, SCO UnixWare on Intel, SCO OpenServer on Intel, Digital
 Unix on Alpha, and HP-UX on HP-PA.

I kind of lost interest finding out what it protects against  But if anyone else knows or finds out I'd be interested in what the "Linux viruses" are.
