The biggest one is ClamAV, with official virus databases as well as third-party databases and custom YARA rules.
Linux is pretty good at Virus protection by itself. But you can get ClamAv, or any of the big name Anti-Virus programs for it.

Linux dedicated servers do not offer packages. It is not a service that you purchase, rather it is a type of server that your service would be running off of.
There are many applications with Linux software package equivalents available. Some examples of these applications include Google Chrome and Google Music Manager.
Yes - and No... There is no home edition of Norton for Linux that I know of. However, there is an enterprise edition of Antivirus for Linux.
There are a HUGE amount of packages available in Linux. Thousands upon thousands. You have to keep in mind that even a program that, to you, is just one program, is actually made up of several packages. For example, if you want to install the VLC media player, you have to install a package called VLC, but also a package called VLC-NOX, VLC-Data, libvlc2, libvcdinfo0, etc...
I don't believe so although GIMP is a free image editor GNU Image Manipulation Program, most linux various are distros or distribution
No. There have been no wild Linux viruses in several years. There's no avenue for them to get onto a Linux system; most distros use secure repositories where only software compiled from source is available. No Linux email client launches attachments automatically, so you can't "accidentally" run a bad program, and programs run under a non-root account don't have the ability to modify other programs on the system.Antiviruses are useful on Linux in some situations and are available. If you regularly download files and share them with Windows users, an antivirus can help you to protect them. They do not do you any good personally, though.
The best (and perhaps usual) answer is to use an antivirus program. For Windows, there are hoards of antivirus programs available like McAfee, Norton, Kaspersky, AVG, K7, Quickheal, Avast!, etc. For Mac and Linux, there one AV software available called Clam AV (ClamAV.net).
Because some of them suck.
