Is there a real big need for having an anti-virus on linux?

if so what are some good ones to use?

Will the software be used in a commercial environment? If not, then you could use AVG from Grisoft:- http://free.avg.com/download I've used it for a couple of years now and haven't had any problems. Come to think of it, it hasn't found any viruses either!?!?! Perhaps I've been lucky, but I prefer to believe my email server is fairly good at rejecting spam etc.

If you are using it in a commercial environment, you can purchase a subscription server licence for Linux from them. http://www.avg.com/product-avg-server-edition-for-linux
