Antivirus for Ubuntu

[jarrodhenry at comcast.net]

Honestly, the structure is such that this is an unnecessary device right now, and the security being as it is, might be an unnecessary construct in the future of linux.

That being said, there is ClamAV at http://www.clamav.net/. 

I'd be more concerned with someone who desires a useless or needless product being executed, though.  The only purpose for an anti-virus in Linux at this time is to protect the windows users.  Microsoft Windows is the issue here, not Linux.
