Both, guarddog and firestarter are not anti-virus software but firewalls [0].

What do you want to do with the anti virus software? (In case you don't know, 
the chance of getting your Linux system infected by a virus is close to 
non-existing.) There are anti-virus programs that are mainly used on 
mailservers, filtering viruses off emails, the best known are amavis and 
clamav, apt-cache search for them reveals more information.
