Much better in Linux to focus on updating your packages, getting patches for vulnerabilities and keeping a general watch on security versus wasting time with phantom viruses. Now, if you have windows clients, it can be very useful to run an AV app to scan their messages for viruses to keep them from getting compromised. Most of us that run AV do it for that purpose. -- Bryan Phinney
