There are several commercial AV programs for Linux that also detect Windows
based viruses and clean/remove them as well. I'm current using RAV on my
Linux server and I will probably buy it. It works well and has Hueristic
capability. (which is what you need) Down side with Linux AV systems is that
they take forever to scan your system but you can set most of them to scan
only the directories you want.
