anti virus


I need help. My company currently buy's dell computers and we load Red Hat Linux 7.3 and we also put on all are own software. Now the customers are asking us to scan the systems for viruses. Its hard to tell a customer Linux doesn't get viruses ( these are workstations not servers). In Norton you can make a boot disk, boot to it and it will scan the computer and give you results, without having to load Norton's on every machine. Is there a virus program in linux that i can create a boot disk and boot to it or run a command line just to scan the sytem then ship it on it's way? your help is very much needed. thanks Dave a Linux Newbee!

In the Suse 8 pro i use, there
was a free antivirus program in the
package.

http://www.hbedv.com/produkte/products.htm

If you look under workstations, there is a description of a bootable dos-cd for windows.
So maybe it should be possible to make a bootable linux-cd, with the
linux edition of the program.
