It is command line based so should be totally accessible and is well supported. There used to also be F-Prot but I don't know if it's still supported. It is non-free but worked well enough. I've never heard of any spyware for Linux but I suppose it could be out there somewhere. As long as you stick with Debian and Ubuntu packages, I wouldn't think this would be an issue. Obviously the original poster needs to read more about Linux first.
