I downloaded the AVG Free anti-virus program for my wife's Windows computer, 
and I was surprised to see a free anti-virus program for Linux here:

This free program is an rpm.  You can buy a commercial AVG program and get it 
as an rpm, deb file or tar ball.

Is anybody using AVG?  I know that there have been several discussions on this 
list about Linux and viruses.  The conclusion always seems to be that viruses 
have not been a problem for Linux.  So I am guessing that most people here 
would not think it necessary or important to use AVG.
