Virus checker???

Because of the structure of Unix it is not susceptible to virus attacks in the same way as windows and NT. Therefore there is not really a market for Anti virus type software.
I am not aware of any virus attacks on unix systems.
Does anyone else have any experience of these ?

Do a web search on virus AND unix and you will see several entries mainly pertaining to one product. So, it appears there is a need (I seem to recall a worm attack against unix systems many years ago).
But you're right -- nothing is as susceptible to viruses as windows and NT!
