He does have a good point--even though Linux systems can't get infected by Windows virii, you can be a carrier.

So there are cases where it would be a good idea to have some sort of AV running.

I think that would only be the case if one was running WINE ( under Linux)...right?

Personally, I do not recommend Clam-Av anymore.There have been too many reports of it deleting email, mine included. It seems to happen primarily with Thunderbird, but I have seen reports of users’ email being deleted from Evolution, as well.

I haven’t heard or seen any negative feedback on using AVG-Free for Linux...yet. LOL
