A very good reason, indeed, but I think the arguing point is usually
whether or not AV software is useful for a Linux-only user who doesn't
do techie rescue of Windows boxes.  (I'm one of those) In that case can
a case be made for Linux-based AV on (say, my) box?
I guess the real question there is, "am I my brother's keeper?"  IOW,
am I responsible for trying to keep Windows machines safe from their
own enemies which are not necessarily my own?

Much like the vi vs. Emacs debate, it is almost religious in nature
and therefore not suitable for list discussion, I guess, but I would
welcome that debate on Sounder.
