Is anybody out there using any good, free, virus protection software?

How much of a problem are Linux viruses anyway? I thought that most of them depend on Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, like the ones that try to do things with your address book. It's not that Linux viruses are inconceivable, but rather that Linux is a much less attractive target for the virus creators. Why stretch to the top of the tree when there's so much low-hanging fruit in the Windows world?

The virus protection software he asks about and the others mention are for Window's virus, not Linux. When you run a network of machines some Linux, some Windows you still need to catch the Windows viruses. :o)
