I think virus protectors are only really used to check emails to make sure you're not sending viruses to Windows users.

Of course, there are viruses in Linux but they are pretty rare.

Lots of other nasty things to worry about anyway

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware

Rootkits are probably the biggest worry:

Secure Boot helps with this, I will be updating my guide soon so that it actually works

EDIT: Of course, this totally ignores the hardware-level malware that was revealed by Edward Snowden. There's nothing you can do about that anyway so why worry...

EDIT2: From the Wikipedia page:

The use of software repositories significantly reduces any threat of installation of malware, as the software repositories are checked by maintainers, who try to ensure that their repository is malware-free. Subsequently, to ensure safe distribution of the software, checksums are made available.

Quoted for truth
