AV has uses on UNIX....namely if you're using a *nix system as an HAVP proxy to protect Windoze systems, or you're using the *nix system as a mail transfer agent, or you're using it as an SMB share that Windows boxen will upload/download files from, etc... But protecting the UNIX box itself? haha...yeah AV is pretty useless there.
