Yeah, one article about a Windows based FOSS application out of hundreds; it must be an epidemic. Let's all crucify them for such gross inconsistency.
As for Linux AV software; check out ClamAV. It's handy for catching anything from an infected Windows machine and avoiding passing that on to another Windows machine. It's not like the malicious code is going to harm my Linux box in between but I wouldn't want the next Windows machine in the line to take the hit.
I'd also happily buy (yes, pay financial amounts rather than just time to learn) software for Linux based OS provided the advantages over the libre options justified the cost. If you remember Adobe's attempt at a Linux based Photoshop; they failed to price it within reason for the advantages it provided.
(yeah, I'm definitely done with the this low a level of commentator quality ofter today's lovely discussion. Maybe we'll see you when we're all posting without the anonymous tag in more intelligent forums.)
