A couple of days ago, BitDefender introduced a new antivirus for Unix/ 
Linux OS called BitDefender Antivirus Scanner for Unices (you can take  
a look, and get more information from BitDefender website http://www.bitdefender.com/PRODUCT-80-en--BitDefender-Antivirus-Scanner-for-Unices.html 
  ).

Just because you use Linux, it doesn’t mean your computer doesn’t have  
viruses or worms. They are just lying dormant, embedded in the EXE  
files on the NTFS partitions, or hiding beside those DLLs on the dual- 
boot computers, waiting for you to send them to your Windows-using  
friends.
