FWIW, AntiVir, Bitdefender, and F-Prot run quite well on Linux, and each
has BOTH Linux and Windows Trojan and virus signatures. So you can
install these and scan your windows box, and then scan your Linux
box/downloads for malware (e.g. openoffice files, media files, etc.).

Add Dazuko, and you can get real-time scanning of your Linux box while
downloading/compiling software.

(AntiVir and Bitdefender each usually score high on the
antivirus/antiTrojan tests run for Windows bugs.

Bitdefender and F-Prot are ebuilds; AntiVir is available as a Linux source
