Actually, I'm not sure that this is right. Antivirus is generally used
on linux machines only where there are samba shares or a mail server.
Running antivirus software is not (to my knowledge) a common part of
keeping your linux system safe. If someone tells me otherwise, I'm happy
to reconsider this section of the guide.
