I have been using clamwin for my windows machines and clam av for my linux boxes and it sucks.It does not have a realtime scanner to catch something that comes in right away. You have to schedule a scan and I dont like the fact that it does not give you the option to disinfect, you have to quarantine,delete, and or rename and by then the damage has been done. I have using f-prot for year and do like it but the linux version is free but it does not come with a realtime scanner. Why is that and is there something else that has that feature that is free?
AVG might, but.. really.. unless you are running a Mail-Server on Linux, you don't really need a virus scan. It's a good idea to scan every once and awhile, but normally Viri won't do much (if any) damage to a *nix system.
