I think many antivirus companies are struggling to find their nitch now 
that M$ has announced their own virus/security product to be sold to help 
fill their self created holes.

I am as big a linux advocate as anyone on a Fedora list, but most of the
phish servers out there seem to be improperly maintained linux based
machines. If you happen to scan the phish tarball often left behind some
of them will detect the server side phish components and most will add
detection if you send the tarball to them.

This would be an avenue for these companies to have a market, if they can 
convince the same folks who don't maintain their linux boxen today to 
purchase or run virus protection.
