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!
