Answer this other question: Do you have any virus-prone systems connected to your Linux box? Say, a gaming PC, a laptop, your kid's PC.... or business clients connected to a Linux samba server? If the answer is yes, then an antivirus running on your Linux box will help all those other virus-prone systems.
