Story: Securely setting up a Linux PC

Why isn't there no mention of a virus scanner ? When I install a Windows PC I install a firewall and a virus scanner by default. It shouldn't be any different for Linux.
I admit tripwire has some overlap with what a virus scanner does. But doesn't scanning for virusses and other malicious code deserve a point of its own instead of being somewhere in the 'other' section?
Note: I personally have no virus scanner on my Linux PC either - so I'm criticizing myself here too.
