Hello!
Quite all right. Just 'keeping it real'.
When it comes to AV for Linux, no one needs to BUY one. Won't say Linux is virus-proof (is ANYTHING?), but your chances of running across Linux malware are very, very slim.
With that said, ClamAV does a super job of finding and removing malware for free - which you only need worry about when dealing with Windows flash drives and partitions. It installs into the Accessories menu folder, and takes about 18 MB of drive space.
sudo apt-get install clamav clamtk
or you can skip clamtk in the terminal and get the LATEST ClamTk here (select 'Ubuntu 12:xx Legacy .DEB')
http://code.google.com/p/clamtk/
To update ClamAV signatures:
sudo freshclam
The ClamTk website suggests a couple of ways to set things up to periodically check for updates on its own.
Be it Windows or Linux, I don't believe in paying for AV when the free ones work just as well...

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
