Yep, your right. The auditors nowadays even ask for an AV on a *n?x OS (what a shame) !!!

Just an FYI...if your nix devices are in scope, my last audit (4 weeks ago)
directed me to install A/V plus a rootkit finder on linux devices in scope.
Whitelisting is an alternative, but seems more a headache then A/V. Hope
this helps someone somewhere.
