I've found a new very well done anti virus called ESET NOD32 4 Anti Virus. 
I've been able to pick up copies of this software from eBay for under ten
dollars per year, actually the price was more like five dollars.  I figure
that the company has approved this to get the customers that can't afford the
regular price.  Its a more sophisticated system than standard certificate
validation systems, requiring a user name and password, which are both
provided from the eBay sellers, so I figure they would have had to have
access to the key-making system to produce this combination of
authentication.  Anyways, five dollars for a years subscription is amazing. 
The most amazing part is that its available for Linux!!  I've tried Sophos
Antivirus and it deleted some conference audio from one of the HOPE
conferences --- I don't need nannyware but antivirus software so Sophos was
quickly thrown out.  Comodo was alright except that it kept stopping scans
half way through... and the best part:

ESET NOD32 FOR LINUX CAN BE WORKED FROM A COMMAND LINE SO THAT ITS SCANNING
CAN BE ACTIVATED/STARTED FROM THE COMMAND LINE.  THIS CAN BE USED WITH MYSTIC
BBS OR WHATEVER OTHER BBS SOFTWARE TO SCAN UPLOADS.


BitDefender and F-PROT also exist, which are well done... however when it
comes to an antivirus software package I want to get the best of the best as
a virus infection could be horrible.  BitDefender is also a commercial
product, which I have not tried.  If anyone has experience with it please let
me know.  However, I've already found the ultimate software in NOD32, so it
wouldn't change my mind on which is the best for my needs.
