Anti-virus for Linux is not something that should be overlooked or sneered at. Bot-herders prize the Linux systems they manage to infect, because of both their rarity and stability.
Some distros offer KlamAV (with a K) as a KDE frontend for personal PC use, but I've yet to get it to work on my PC's. A failed KlamAV install (download difficulties, couldn't get all the parts from the repository) wrecked Firefox so badly -- ALL extensions and themes nuked, and xpi reinstall rendered impossible -- I had to reinstall. And I mean I had to wipe my separate /home partition also, because /home/.* application data was so FUBAR'ed, it propagated into OS-only reinstall when I preserved old /home!!! Grisoft also offers their AVG Free antivirus for Linux. http://free.grisoft.com I really really liked AVG as a Windows user, but installing it under Linux looks to be a hideously technical process that I find a little too daunting just yet. It involves getting and installing a kernel module called "dazuko" from dazuko.org, then istalling AVG itself from tarball. Yikes!
