Personally, I don't use any. Why? because I find them unnecessary in the world of linux and on my box. The last real virus threat I remember was in january, dealing with the RST.b virus and that wasn't even that big of threat.So I need not worry. Although it would be a good idea to use some sort of virus scanner software if you're running some kinda network, with webservers, or running a site like, let's say, sourceforge. Where the viruses could spread more rapidly due the fact that they don't scan the binaries that they have for download, or so I've heard. I can see how that would benefit. But other than that, I don't use any virus scanner ----EDIT---- By the way, if you're just that paranoid, I found a decent article on anti-virus software for linux, here: The Article

Being paranoid is nature by some... As for me, no need to explain me... I'm not some regular fan, I got networks, companies to deal with, and fun places I hang and are staff for example the wonderful UGN Security. Who else out there, lez hear your feeling. What's in your box? (if not, then why)

I kinda use linux as my virus scanner. I had a virus going through my mp3s But since i was downloadinf the to windows and backing them up to linux once i sent them to linux all the infected files seprated and i just deleted the shit. heres the source that seperated during the transfer: web page But really how many linux viruses are there out there? 50? 100? its so hard to spread a linux virus because most people at least glance at the source of the code being run.
