Sybari did not really write any AV products. They purchased the rights to multiple AV engines to include in their products. What they did write was how to hook into Exchange and Lotus Notes servers and scan email before a user could get to it. What was announced was that support for Antigen for Lotus Notes was going to be limited to Windows platforms only. Sybari did not sell or produce desktop AV products. But Microsoft is very afraid of Linux... Lyle Janvier Anonical wrote:

I have read that Microsoft has bought Sybari and discontinued its anti-virus support for UNIX and Linux. It seems Microsoft views Linux as a real threat. Since Sybari is out, what would be an alternative for Linux users with regards to anti viruses?
