Wade, 

I dont worry about virus's on my linux boxes. 

Are you looking for virus protection on Windows?  If so, AVG makes a good
freeware virus program.  You can also use http://security1.norton.com to scan
your windows computer.  If you find one with the website, it
won't remove it for free.  One last thing you can do is run spybot for spy
software on windows.  Spykiller on the other hand is spyware itself and thus
worthless.

Here are the urls:
http://www.safer-networking.org/
http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php
http://security1.norton.com

Oh yeah, security1 has a online vulnerability test as well.  It appears to be
a simple port scan.
