[ale] Virus scan

[Mike Millson]

Is it recommended or common practice to run virus scan software on linux
production servers (e.g. a web server)? I stopped running virus software on
my windows desktops about 3 years ago because the virus software itself was
like a virus - buggy, slowing the machine down, causing other apps to crash.
I found the virus protection program's ill affects didn't outweigh the
possible benefits and have never considered them since. Should I be
considering something like f-prot?
