Well, I went to the clamav website and it was as Carlos said. If it
protects email, is it used in a server that ultimately comes to my
email. And as my wife uses Windows XP and I am connected to her via
wireless, do I need to be using this antivirus program?
Strictly speaking? No, you don't NEEEEEEEEEEEED to use it.
But to protect her windows machine, you should.
Have a good day!

That would be a binary. You have to read their instructions, then.
This brings up another question. Does Suse have
some sort of security other than firewalls?
Yes...
I haven't seen any great
importance on anti virus/spyware programs.
Because they are not needed :-P
Yes, there are antivirus, but they are mostly used to detect windows
viruses that get transmitted on email, in order to protect the windows
machines served email by the linux one. Another use is to clean/protect
samba shares: again, to protect the windows machines from themselves.
In the DVD, there is "antivir" (Avira GmbH), closed source. There is
another one, open source, "clamav".
