Also it's good for a linux machine to have antivirus software installed 
on it if it interacts with windows machines.  For example; if it's a 
samba server or some other server windows boxes connect to.  If you have 
antivirus software on your linux box, you can check emails and 
attachments for viruses so you don't pass them on to windows users.
