AvpLinux, I believe, is a version of AntiViral ToolKit Pro (AVP, since
renamed to AVX) for Linux. Since there are no real virus treats to Linux (due
to its better, more secure design and general lack of interest by virus
developers), this is not a programme to detect Linux virii. Instead, this
scans for WinDOS virii as they come through. This is only really useul if you
have a dual-boot machine and you download Windoze files with Linux, or if
your Linux box acts as some kind of hub/server/firewall to a network of
Windoze boxes. The virus scanner will stop all WinDOS virii before they get
to the other computers, so that you won't have to keep an up-to-date virus
scanner on each machine (a nightmare for administrators).
AVX (www.avx.com) is giving this software away for free, so it may be worth
investigating. Apparently it runs as a daemon, scanning all incoming packets.

Your mouse has moved. Windows must be rebooted to acknowledge this change.
