Hi Lawson!
I use this scanner from time to time and it only finds Windows virii, Words
macro virii to be more exact. It doesn't seem to matter if they are on a
mounted vfat filesystem or on the Linux partitions. AFAIK, there are no Linux
virii, "only" worms and trojan horses. And of course, a Linux workstation can be
rooted. There is a good security advisory about this on
http://linux.about.com/compute/linux/library/weekly/aa042800c-a1.htm
HTH!
