I have done virus scanning on Linux for years to protect our Windows
clients.  My mail server scans all incoming and outgoing mail and my
file server occasionally goes through its 0.5 TB to check for viruses. 
This is all done using McAfee's uvscan and its sole purpose is to
protect Windows computers.  I would expect the same with this company's
product.
