Maybe your Unix people were asleep when that policy was decided?
There are several commercial and semi-commercial (you always need
to buy at least a virus scanner) solutions for virus scanning on Unix
machines. This is better than running a virus scanner on a system
that itself is prone to infections (think orthogonal). There were
also a couple of bugtraq postings in the past few months about
vulnerabilites in NT/2000 versions of some commercial screening software.
If that system already had downtime, you have a good case for pushing
into the other direction now.
Sorry for the OT ;)
