    The viruses aren't necessarily Linux. Many Linux boxes are serving as Samba or netatalk file servers or Sendmail boxes. These commercial antivirus products work in conjunction with those services to provaide av protection for the windows/mac clients of the Linux servers.

    We got Sophos here at the UA on a site license. http://www.sophos.com

    they offer server software for the following Unix platforms:

    Platforms Solaris/SPARC
    Solaris/Intel
    Linux/Intel
    Linux/Alpha
    SCO OpenServer/Intel
    SCO UnixWare/Intel
    Digital Unix/Alpha (Compaq Tru64 Unix/Alpha)
    AIX/PowerPC
    FreeBSD/Intel
    HP-UX/HP-PA
