See other posts for why a linux user should be bothered by viruses. (you are running as a user, and not as root I assume) More complex answrer - keep an eye on fedora extras - http://www.fedora.us - who are about to relaunch very soon. There are prebuilt clam-av rpms that I've seen in their repository that may shortly be worth looking at. Cheers, Pthagonal.
