Linux Virus scanners?

What do you guys recommend?

Kaspersky (http://www.kaspersky.com/businessoptimal?chapter=4157740) for Linux, personally never used it since I don't use Linux but Kaspersky is top notch.

F-prot Antivirus.

Honestly as long as you aren't running the box logged in as root (su - instead) you shouldn't worry too much, the worst that could happen is your /home/user could suffer ... not the entire system.

What I would recommend, however is running chkrootkit (http://www.chkrootkit.org/) and/or rootkit hunter (http://www.rootkit.nl/projects/rootkit_hunter.html) on a regular basis and keeping your system up to date. I'm not saying Linux can't be infected but the chances are slim if you if practice common security rules.

I'll look at both of those but i'd still like a virus scanner on there.

I am interested in this also. So which of the two above do people generally think is the better option?
