I've not really looked at it much, but I believe it's one of those applications which helps guard against things that shouldn't be there. There is also Clam Anti-Virus which is a GPL'd Anti-Virus application which will scan for viruses (I've got it running on my mail server to pick up any Windows viruses before they get to my Inbox, not that I can really run them on Ubuntu, but hey it's better safe than sorry, last thing I want to do is accidentally forward a virus on to someone else).
