The overwhelming majority of virus are Windows-based, agreed, which means that virus scanning is really useful if you are using your machine as a mail server or as a fileserver to Windows clients. You might find that doing the full system scan takes up a lot of resources for some time (possibly hours), but that probably only matters if you happen to want to use the machine for something else then. -- -Chuck
