Anti-Virus Software for Linux and SUpport?

[Don Boring]

Hi,

I just installed Linux Redhat 9 on
a 500 mghz machine Pentium III
and want to hook up another ADSL
modem to that box too, but I feel
I need Anti-virus software.

Is there any free stuff available
that updates regularly, and if so
is their any support on it.

I must admit that I am a real Dummy
on Linux even tho I have owned computers
since 1986. I don't know how to install software
on Linux other than what is already on it.

Any tutorials on that that you know of on the
web would be appreciated.

Most linux virus scanners are dealing with threats against M$ Window$
rather than linux itself.

Thank You!

F-Prot, Bit Defender, AVG and AntiVir also have command line scanners for
Linux which are free for personal use.
