You can already by commercial antivirus for Linux. Kaspersky offers a Linux 
version, as does AVG and Symantec. How well those work is anyone's guess. I 
don't have any info on whether or how well they work, simply advising that 
they already exist.

Now, I agree that it's not too far-fetched to expect to see a linux virus 
"in the wild." Apple is now reportedly advising users to get some sort of 
antivirus for the Mac, and since Apple's O/S is based on BSD, it doesn't 
seem like a huge stretch to imagine that a Linux virus could be developed.

I would like to see more "workstation" antiviruses be developed for linux. 
Most of the antivirus products I've seen for linux have been for servers.
