Linux Antivirus


I have a web server running Red Hat 7.3, and my boss recently told me that I need to install some form of antivirus on it.

Something free or cheap would be good, as I am not that worried about the server getting a virus, more just to install something and appease the powers that be.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

does your boss know the deal with antivirus software on linux? or does he/she assume you _NEED_ one, like some other operating systems?

oh well..
there are many free ones, search sourceforge or freshmeat websites, good luck!

I don't really think it is needed, but my boss thinks we need it. I just want one that will run with very little overhead.

Nothing too complicated, just something that won't break my web server, and can tell my boss that I install AV on the web server.
