   Yes, I suggest Clam Antivirus. http://clamav.elektrapro.com/

   Open source Antivirus scanner. No fees for virus updates, either. It's
also in the Ports Collection: /usr/ports/security/clamav

   I would recommend getting the latest download from their website as the
software has improved greatly over the course of the last several months.
It seems to be the best open source AV scanner I've been able to find that
includes it's own virus database, but perhaps someone else knows of
something better.
