I need a antivirus software of Suse Linux 9.1 Pro. I know that Linux cannot get viruses, BUT the windows machines behind the proxy server can. So I was wondering if there were any good antivirus software for suse that can stop the virus before it even gets to the windows machine? Thanks,
Each of the windows machines have nortain antivirus corp edition installed on them, I was just wondering if there was any Linux software that found windows viruses? I do not want to go though the trouble of running them under wine. Anyone else know of anything? Thanks,

mcafee has a command-line version for linux.
clamav detects windows viruses.
being as it's based on clamav, klamav also detects windows viruses.
I also believe F-Prot provides antivirus.
Suse did ship some antivirus packages with their distro, probably just the pro version. To find these, you had to do a detailed install.
I emailed mcafee and I am still waiting for a reply. I will have to look into clamav and klamav. For some reason my boss does not want me using F-Prot(not sure why because we use it on our mail server). The software that came with suse 9.1 pro sucked. It was only a demo version and was very confusing. I think I will have to talk him into F-Prot. Thanks everyone,
