Well it is good that ESET is now starting to give antivirus to Linux, but like Jack said is it really needed right now.
Not really. It's still difficult to infect Linux machines.
And it's not a matter of of Linux not having the usership that Windows has that is the reason there aren't many viable Linux viruses. The fact that Linux rules the server world makes Linux a very worthwhile target. Probably even more-so than Windows.
It basically boils down to a few things:
Linux was designed to be difficult to infect.
The majority of Linux users are running as limited users.
The majority of Linux users only download software from managed repositories.
Countless people are looking at the Linux source code for weaknesses.
