Just wait before you say “there is no need for an antivirus in Linux.” Considering only your own computer, you are right but we have to remember that we are working in a “hybrid network”, which have many users with different operating systems.

The article on Bright Hub explains the reasons and reviews the antivirus products available for the Linux platform.
