Ok, in that case pretty much the only anti-virus software you need on
a desktop linux box is chkrootkit.

Is it just my sysadmin background or doesn't everyone run this?  

Delegating user authority does make it more secure and he has a good point.

In fact, I am sorely afraid the first "linux virus" will be aimed at
the ubuntu set and those who have not disabled frickin sudo.
