Don't surf the 'Net as Root and you have little to worry
about. :-) There is very little that can be done to your
Linux box unless you run a hostile app as root (or SU.)

Most Linux Anti-viral packages are for checking stuff so
that Windows clients which connect to the Linux box and
download files aren't infected by any of the files. :-)
