Because us Linux sysops are hosting file servers, that contain files for
both Windows and DOS. Running a scanner on received files is a good idea.

It has nothing to do with Linux. I know Linux itself does not need
antivirus, but any Windows or DOS files hosted on it should probably be
checked. When I run antivirus here, it's only on received files. I'm not
scanning the entire system because it's not needed.

However, a Linux system can host infected files and pass them on to another
system without being affected. So as a courtesy, these files should
probably be checked before being passed on to your peers.

Regards,
Nick
