Hello,
"AntiVirus? I don't need any AntiVirus, I'm running Linux!"
Sound familiar? That's what Mac users used to say, before the emergence of FakeAV targetting Macs, OSX.Macontrol, OSX.Flashback, OSX.Sabpab and the rest. AntiVirus software- like Symantec AntiVirus for Linux- is necessary on a Linux computer, too. There are more than one hundred threats that target Linux specifically as well as threats that can affect specifc software components regardless of what platfrom they are running on.
And, of course a Linux file server can host infected files or threats that target Windows or Macintosh computers. Running AV on the Linux file server can stop those before they spread.
