You don't have to buy it.  In contrast, I would never recommend not 
buying a scanner for Window$.  And, like I said before, the thought of a 
Linux virus revisits me on a regular basis.  (I did have a Unix version 
of a McAfee scanner at one time.)

If we don't use scanners, how do we know that there isn't already a 
stealthly virus currently on our systems?  I guess there is FUD either way!
