I think many antivirus companies are struggling to find their nitch now that M$ has announced their own virus/security product to be sold to help fill their self created holes. I am as big a linux advocate as anyone on a Fedora list, but most of the phish servers out there seem to be improperly maintained linux based machines. If you happen to scan the phish tarball often left behind some of them will detect the server side phish components and most will add detection if you send the tarball to them. This would be an avenue for these companies to have a market, if they can convince the same folks who don't maintain their linux boxen today to purchase or run virus protection.
