I personally think the lack of Linux viruses is overblown - sure, there
aren't many out there, and they are hard to catch, but that doesn't mean
that there's no point in protecting yourself. If you run WINE, for
example, now your machine is somewhat more susceptible. I can't run
Norton Anti Virus under WINE, though, so something's got to be available
to protect the system to any potential exposure.

Mmmm... what about backups? Surely, there are other things that scare me
much more, as a real danger of loosing my documents, than viruses: disk
failures (sw&hw), for instance. Antivirus is not going to protect me.
