In unix, it's more trouble than it's worth. Windows viruses cannot run in Linux. I would recommend getting chkrootkit and logcheck to help make sure nobody managed installed malicous code and to email you about possible crack attempts against your system (don't freak out unless logcheck sends you an Attack Alert). Keep yourself patched (if you use stable, go hit http://security.debian.org/ for details and what to add to your /etc/apt/sources.list if it's not already there, if you run testing or unstable, do a dist-upgrade regularly). - -- .''`.
