Well, don't realknohow to detect them, but the good news is that most viruses don't infect linux boxes like they would a win98 machine. They can be used to spread viruses, or dos attacks, etc., but the majority of the viruses out there won't infect the box.
I don't know how you avois worms, etc., other than keeping up to date with patches for the software.

There are a few Linux Anti-Virus programs out there only one comes to mind though. http://www.ravantivirus.com check for both win based and linux based viruses, worms, trojans and other baddies..

There's a list here:

That should give you some to look at; I don't know about compatibilities with Cobalts though.

I found this a while back on the Cobalt site.

Anybody isntalled AMaViS on their Raq? I would be interested in getting a server-side virus scanner set-up. This could potential eliminate a lot of service calls from people saying:
"Your server sent me a virus!!!" ;)
