Why this big push for AV??? Two articles in the last 24 hrs... And still no known widespread desktop Linux viruses/malware in the wild... Tech writers must be desperate for clicks...

AV sellers advertise. Linux distro's, by and large, don't.

Well, to be fair, the article is about a non-commercial anti-virus application (ClamAV), and it seems to focus more on using Linux to prevent infection of Windows and OS X machines.
