Avira says farewell to Linux

German antivirus company Avira is discontinuing its Linux products in order to focus more on developing its Mac OS X and Windows lines. The company says small businesses and consumer systems “almost exclusively rely upon Windows or Mac operating systems” and that “Linux installations have been declining steadily for years.”
Sign that the Linux desktop is declining, or that the Linux desktop doesn’t need commercial antivirus since it has AIDE, Tripwire, and ClamAV?
