As @Starcrasher pointed out clamav, that has been in the depot for some time already.
I would use ClamAV if I could figure out how to set it up.
Unfortunately, the GUI and/or ClamAV settings are all focused setting on Linux or Windows platforms. There is no Haiku step-by-step setup guide to properly run and use ClamAV in Haiku.
It should just ‘run out of the box’ as other AV utilities as they were installed (other platforms experience).
So I gave up.
Current version I got here still builds/launches fine, just can’t remember how I set it up after that 
Unlike most antivirus, it doesn’t scan files on access. So, you have to setup freshclam that will update the db, perhaps make a script to scan your home on startup, not a lot more.
Then..it goes back to my original comment of the lack of Haiku-centric documentation to properly setup and run ClamAV. I cannot get it to run…need a step-by-step set up guide or something.
