<div dir="ltr">virus scanning on Linux is only useful if the Linux system is serving files to windows machines. Then it's clamav. F-Prot also has a Linux-based AV tool. It also scans for Windows virus signatures. There are just not enough Linux virus's, and they all require really stupid practices to get, so I don't worry about it at home.<br>
<br>Oh. Don't run wine. That _will_ capture windows virus's.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 21, 2013 at 2:57 AM, Alex Carver <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:agcarver+ale@acarver.net" target="_blank">agcarver+ale@acarver.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I'm using ClamAV now but I thought I'd get opinions on other possible options. My intent is to perform centralized scanning of most of my machines (mix of OSes).<br>
