Well, there used to be a company which made anti-virus software for
Solaris, even if i can't remember its name ;).. But note that this
software checked for Wintendo viruses.
This is actually quite usefull if you have a Solaris server which 
host accounts / data for wintendo machines. Like mailservers, homeservers
etc.
