And in all those years, have you ever come across any system other than 
windows that needed a virus scanner?

I don't believe symantec does on-access scanning for the S/390 either, and the 
Sun machines in the world seems to have gotten along fine without it

Let's face facts, shall we: you have been thoroughly indoctrinated by your 
windows experiences, and now you want to take that along with you.

It's just not needed
