Well, Linux, as such, doesn't need AV protection because it's pretty
much immune.  But if you're running a mail server for Windoze boxes,
you can use ClamAntiVirus,

http://clamav.elektrapro.com/

(it's GPLed) along with a Perl script and procmail.  I set up such a
thing for my local ISP, and it catches all incoming viruses.  Outgoing
isn't covered, but I figure if you catch it coming in the door, you
don't have to worry much about it going out the door.
