I'm sorry that it came out like that.

I have moved over 20 people from Windows XP / Vista to Fedora and
Kubuntu.  About half wanted antivirus installed. While I do believe
that there is a place for antivirus software in Linux, a home user
using it to protect his system from malware is not the place.
Currently, there is no malware (in the sense that Windows users use
the term) for Linux desktops. That _will_ change. But when that day
comes the types of antivirus currently available for Linux will not
protect against it.

If the OP is configuring a mailserver, then by all means install
antivirus. It would be irresponsible not to.
