Best AntiVirus for Fedora Core 1

[Chalonec Roger]

I am wondering if I need antivirus.  I am using an FTP/SFTP server.
Does ClamAV scan uploaded files that are SFTP?  Do I need an OS level
antivirus?  Some have told me that Av is not needed on Linux.  I am not
planning on running windows stores.  A user will send a file to the
server with SFTP and a user will retrieve the file via SFTP.  However,
both users will likely be using windows based systems.  

Thanks for your time.

I'm a pretty big OSS advocate but there is a closed product called nod32
that just blows away everything out there. And fast, I scanned around 30
gigs in 11 minutes. I have not tried the linux version, but the windows
one found trojan/virii on 
all 3 machines I've ran it on so far. Closed or not It's won many 'real'
awards. http://www.nod32.com/news/awards.htm
