Windows-file virus scanning for Samba/Linux?

[Jason Stephenson]

I just spent a few minutes looking into this because I could swear that 
one of the "big guys" in anti-virus software has such a beast. However, 
after just a few minutes on the Symantec and McAfee sites, I've given up.

These are studies in how not to design a web site, particularly the 
McAfee site which constantly barraged me with pop-ups offering to 
automatically scan my computer for Windows viruses and other problems, 
when my browser plainly advertises that I'm running FreeBSD!

In a quick Google search, I found these other that claim to have 
anti-virus software for Linux. I assume it will do what you want:

TrendMicro apparently has something, too. They're in Germany.

Here are some interesting articles that are related:
