I know of no anti-virus software for Linux. But then I've never seen a Linux
virus either. I think there are 2, and one was developed for achedemic
purposes. You don't have to worry about viruses on LInux, if you do your
everyday useage as a regulare user your system can't get damnaged by a virus
you might accedently download.
If this is a stupid answer, forgive me..its late and I've been programming for
the past 6hrs..heh
