Good antivirus for linux

Quote:As far as I've been lead to believe, Linux (except Android) doesn't need antivirus??


This is a false idea, as we have on linux a lot of bots & rootkits. Android have a lot of malware & rootkit you can find mainly with stolen software.

The myth that set that linux have no virus is technically irrelevant. As linux have flaws and can be infected with self replicating/ propagating software. The main difference is linux market share in desktop or overall PC market. Same apply for mac OS while it was hit recently with many worms targeting java flaws.
