I don't want to jump into this fray, so no flames please. However, to
prevent anyone from getting the wrong impression based on David's comment:

There are several firms offering desktop antivirus for Linux. Here are a few
that come to mind:

Kaspersky Anti-Virus Business Optimal for Linux Workstations
http://www.kaspersky.com/buyonline.html?info=50

Command Antivirus for Linux
http://www.authentium.com/solutions/products/csavlinux.cfm

McAfee VirusScan for Unix (supports Linux)
http://www.networkassociates.com/us/products/mcafee/antivirus/desktop/vs_unix.htm

BitDefender Linux Edition
http://www.bitdefender.com/bd/site/products.php?p_id=16

Sophos Anti-Virus (Linux)
http://www.sophos.com/products/sav/

F-Prot Antivirus for Linux / BSD
http://www.f-prot.com/products/corporate_users/unix/

Thus, if you are running Linux workstations and you do want antivirus
software, there are options available.
