I find it interesting that it detects if it's run in a VM or chroot and then exits.

It seems Linux Desktop is now mainstream enough to have become a target for malware. So is there already a good free anti virus solution for linux? (I had a short look at clamav, but it seems targeted mainly at windows viruses and seems not too reliable at detecting them ...)
