How necessary is virus protection in linux

For this purpose one may edit 'crontab' and add a tiny script, to run a
scan on ones Mail directories.
crontab -e [ will open crontab, in vim, so one can add/delete at will ]
For this purpose, my CRON Daemon runs F-PROT each hour, to scan my Mail
directories.

If you don't like using vim, you can set EDITOR to your editor of
choice, and that will be used for commands like crontab, vipw, vigr, etc.
