Hi,

I am not sure you need a virus protection on Linux. However if you want additional protection check out http://www.bitdefender.com/PRODUCT-6...x-Edition.html

Well there is a free one called ClamAV.

Maybe you should take a look.

I use Norton Internet Security, it works well so far until I just got a virus today and I need to figure out how to resolve it..

I like BitDefender Linux version and I like AVG Free Linux version. I've got also F-Prot, AntiVir and ClamAV but using all to see if i got a Virus on my Windows Partition (every AV detects other viruses) using an on demand scan (every few months). I got good ratings with BitDefender and AVG Free, and some false positivs using AntiVir.

You don't need AV on Linux systems unless you have a windows partition you want to check.
