last time I heard Linux only had 13 viruses. I know there is a free anti-virus for linux but I can't remember what it is. I dont even use one on my linux boxes.

Dont use Clam AV, its still to new, and can currently only detect viruses, not remove them. An award winning program is BitDefender. You can download it for free from;
