Hmm! The Link in the article, takes you to the Dr. Web website.
The Dr. Web website, is promoting their Dr. Web Antivirus software and this software is by a Russian Developer, according to their post at the bottom of the web page.
Not sure if I would want to install a Russian developer, Antivirus, on my computer. I would be concerned that it would actually put virus software on the computer.
From further Googling, though, it appears Dr Web Antivirus may be Ok, but I think I would go with something more well known, such as Avast Antivirus, if I was going to run a Antivirus scan on my Linux computer.
With Avast Antivirus for Linux, they don't seem to have a desktop version but you could download a 30 day trial version of their Server antivirus, which I think should work fine on a desktop install of a Linux Distro.
