Just answer the following question: have you ever seen a virus which has infected your linux box? If the answer is no (and I guess this is the case) then it is pointless to install an anti-virus for internal use.
Answer this other question: Do you have any virus-prone systems connected to your Linux box? Say, a gaming PC, a laptop, your kid's PC.... or business clients connected to a Linux samba server? If the answer is yes, then an antivirus running on your Linux box will help all those other virus-prone systems. FYI: ClamAV is an antivirus solution to remove MS-Windows virii Regards, Josep -- Josep L. Guallar-Esteve
