I'll just chime in for a quick moment.

Remember that your IFS can only carry viruses for other platforms. There is no known instance of any IFS file ever executing code on i5/OS. Won't happen.

So that begs the question: if you use your IFS as a (very expensive) file sharing system between Windows machines, then you should consider anti-virus. If on the other hand you use it only to communicate between your System i and other machines in your network, then perhaps you really don't need anti-virus on the System i.

As always, your mileage may vary.
