I am one of the Linux users on this forum and I run Avast anti-virus for Linux.
Why? Even though I am running Linux, it is still possible for me to pick up Windows mal-ware and then unknowingly send it on the my Windows using friends.
By running regular scans of my Linux system, I can avoid this happening.
