Antivirus needed?
#2
My personal opinion from your description of usage.

No. Not needed.

Viruses and such are usually .exe files and linux does not run them. My wife is a life time Windows user and I scan anything I share with her using

to scan whatever is on the usb drive the files I will share with her.

A live cd is also offered that will do the job if sharing files. ClamAV and others are just a waste of space and effort for me.

Either one of the above will suit your needs if you change your mind and put questionable files to share on usb with a Windows user.
I have never infected my wifes work windows gear with malware.

Also. I am the best anti-virus by my computer usage and browsing habits. The space between my shoulders handle that job quite nicely.
