Open Source Antivirus

ClamAV is an Open Source Antivirus program we have used on OS X and a number of Linux distributions. ClamAV also has a Windows port but do not have any experience using it.  ClamXav for OS X runs the Clamav 0.95.2 backend and is currently being updated to version 2.0.  ClamXav includes ClamXav Sentry so individual folders can be actively monitored.  Even if you use Linux or OS X and you do not worry about virus it is nice to scan things before sending them to your Windows friends.

More info on each and download links:

Help from n00bs on Ubuntu if you use ClamAV in Ubuntu or an Ubuntu based distribution.
