There are lots of network scanners available. Saint is a good one, it has a web-based interface and provides a pretty good summary report of anything it finds. There is some flexibility in how you want it to scan, but not a lot. Enough for most people, I suspect. Unless you are running a mail server for Windows clients (esp. Outlook), you won't need a virus scanner. There are only a handful of known viruses for Linux, and Mandrake 8.1 is not vulnerable to any of them (because the security problems have already been fixed).
