IU don't run antivirus software on my desktops or laptop that run linux or
bsd. Only use it on mail servers since we do have windows customers.
clam-av is pretty good. another one was f-prot which is free for non
commercial use. McAfee has had a linux version of their enterprise av
solution for a few years and I've found it to be very good (A bit of a
pain to play with initially but maybe not now with new releases).
hope you find this useful.
