Virus Protection Question

I had a firewall installed on my dedicated server. Should I request that an anti-virus also be installed? If I get one installed how much would I have to do with it? My knowledge with anti-virus protection on servers is very limited.

If they built your stuff like they do regular shared servers, it has Exim as a mail process. Exim should also have some AntiVirus plugin installed.

And for File anti virus there is Bit Defender
