Well, its true that you don't get Linux virus (99.99999%) . In my case
I was extra cautious. I installed clam AV on my Kubuntu. With a smile
I ordered it to scan. To my horror it found 64 problems (Not viruses
!). When I Quarantined it, I found my NetBeans IDE (used to develp
Java and C++) programs was virtually destroyed.

Clam AV, if it finds a large ZIP, JAR or GZ file, quarantines it, even
though it may not be virus! So if you are using SUN Java development
tools CAREFUL!!
