I am wondering if I need antivirus. I am using an FTP/SFTP server. Does ClamAV scan uploaded files that are SFTP? Do I need an OS level antivirus? Some have told me that Av is not needed on Linux. I am not planning on running windows stores. A user will send a file to the server with SFTP and a user will retrieve the file via SFTP. However, both users will likely be using windows based systems. Thanks for your time.

And fast, I scanned around 30 gigs in 11 minutes. I have not tried the linux version, but the windows one found trojan/virii on all 3 machines I've ran it on so far. Closed or not It's won many 'real' awards. http://www.nod32.com/news/awards.htm
