In general, the answer is no, unless you need virus protection for Windows machines. Virus and other malware don't tend to bother to target Linux.

Also, if you use [WINE](http://www.winehq.com/), Windows-based viruses might be able to isnfect Wine. Therefore, Wine users should have an anti-virus installed. – TSJNachos117 Jul 24 '13 at 18:13
